Medical Malpractice

[Faris]

What are a physician's chances of being accused of malpractice at some point in during his/her career?

[Benjiro]

Certain disciplines are more apt to be subject to malpractice claims, however, the overall number is less than 50% of all treating physicians will have a claim made against them over their entire career.  5% of physicians who get sued repetitively account for over 80% of malpractice damages.
