The medical malpractice system in the United States is broken. The high cost of malpractice premiums has garnered the most attention in the media, but patients who have been injured as a result of negligence have also been ill-served by the system. Fewer than 5 out of every 100 patients injured by negligence is compensated. On the other hand, many of the malpractice suits brought against doctors don’t actually involve any negligence at all.
