According to 2001 U.S. Justice Department
statistics, though 90 percent of medical malpractice trials
alleged that the error had caused death or permanent
injury, the win rate for malpractice plaintiffs was only
27 percent. From 2000 to 2004, most malpractice suits in
seven states resulted in no compensation for plaintiffs. This
must be why medical insurance costs rarely go up.
