The large number of lawsuits does not necessarily mean a large number of medical errors. Just a large number of people who think there is a medical error involved. The number of lawsuits WON by plantiffs would be a better indicator of medical errors. An even better number to see would be the percentage of medical malpractice suits that are won vs. how many are brought to court. (This would not take into account any suits settled out of court.)
