Medical Malpractice

The “Conspiracy of Silence” in Medical Malpractice Cases

You have heard the claims:  “Malpractice suits are out of control”.  “Good doctors are getting sued all the time”.  And most of all this one “We should have damage caps to prevent frivolous lawsuits”.  This consistent, relentless drumbeat of commercials and lobbyists is all paid for by doctors’ groups and their insurance companies.  The goal is not to stop “frivolous lawsuits”–the system does a great job of that already.
