Becoming involved in a medical malpractice suit is nothing to be taken lightly, but you may be wondering what the percentage of winning a medical malpractice lawsuit is. In a report that collected data on malpractice outcomes over a 20-year period, it was found that hospital doctors won 80 to 90 percent of cases where there is little or poor evidence, 70 percent in borderline cases, and 50 percent in instances with strong evidence of negligence or other malpractice.
Even with statistics that seem to favor practitioners, many healthcare professional carry malpractice insurance with them as a form of professional liability coverage.
