Medical Liability Report: 61% of Doctors Have Been Sued
August 17, 2010
Ted Frank at PointofLaw.com refers us to a new study from the American Medical Association. Key finding: 61% of doctors over the age of 55 have been sued. As Frank writes:
“When the majority of doctors face medical malpractice lawsuits (90% when one narrows it to oft-sued specialties like surgery), it suggests that doctors are getting sued for practice, rather than malpractice.”
