Nationwide, 200,000 lawsuits are filed per year. Among them are between 66,000 and 85,000 medical malpractice cases; however, this number is uncertain. Between 22,000 and 44,000 of these culminate favorably for the plaintiff as a settlement or a verdict. The remainder, two-thirds of all malpractice claims, are dropped or otherwise end favorably for the defendant.
