"Almost no injured patients get lawyers
Harvard researcher Dr. David Studdert, in a 1999 study of 14,700 medical charts, found that of the patients whose charts revealed legitimate negligent injury, 97% did not sue.
Only one in some thousands of injured patients can get lawyersThat is studying only grievances of which a record has been made. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (and others, see Medical Reporting) only 2% of adverse events are reported accurately by health care professionals. 93% do not appear in the record at all. What Studdert is saying is that of the 2% of patients whose injuries are accurately reported in medical charts, 3% get lawyers. 3% of 2% is .0006%. So of the patients with legitimate grievances, .0006% get legal representation.
The Stop of Last Resort
My personal experience, with the thousands of injured patients to whom I have spoken, is that they do not want lawsuits. They want help. They want diagnosis. They want their injuries treated. When they cannot get that, they want their injuries at least to be acknowledged, say by having them appear in an honest record someplace. When they cannot get any of that, they want help from some authority, like a state medical board or from the administration of the facility where they were injured. When they cannot get that they try to find a lawyer, the stop of last resort, but discover that they cannot get that either.
Only one in some thousands of injured patients can get a lawyer."
