That is a lovely sweater.

jjschwartz1229 is correct. The medical malpractice industry is a glorified lottery for the attornies and less so for the "victims". Most cases are frivolous and filed in hopes of a settlement prior to going to trial. Insurance companies often find it less expensive to settle than to undergo the time and expense (and risk) of a trial. Legitimate cases go to trial or are settled without much resistance.

You are an idiot and don't know what the hell you're saying. 80 to 100,00 people in the US are negligently killed each year. That's more people that die from drunken drivers, cancer, and and the 18,000 uninsured people in Michael Moor's "Sicko."

90 percent of doctors sued win their cases because most medical malpractice lawsuits are frivolous and just attempts to hit a jackpot. Bad outcomes can happen without negligence.
