Preventable Patient Injury and Medical Malpractice Claim Costs

Medical malpractice claims are costly, according to a 2008 Health Affairs study which shows that nearly $54.4 billion is spent every year for such claims. 

In a 2009 study published by Hearst Newspapers, it was estimated that every year in the United States, approximately 200,000 people die from preventable medical injuries.

Recent studies indicate that the high cost of medical malpractice claims is not related to unnecessary lawsuits. In fact, only 1.53% of patients who are injured because of medical negligence actually file a medical malpractice claim.
