Too bad the article doesn't cover the costs of legal expense to defeat these frivolous claims. The Med Mal crisis obviously isn't the awards being paid for indemnity.........it's the unecessary litigation costs to defend. When will people wake up to the fact that only people they're suing are themselves? ATLA sits back and stuffs it pockets with legal fees while doctors and patients pay higher insurance premiums. We should adopt English law in this country. If the plaintiff loses, he or she gets nothing and pays the defense costs. The problem with our outdated "contingency fee system" is that the attorneys have nothing at risk.
