The debate over medical malpractice litigation continues unabated in the United States.Advocates of tort reform, including members of the Bush administration, lament the burden of “frivolous” malpractice lawsuits and cite them as a driving force behind rising health care costs.

(A frivolous claim is one that “present[s] no rational argument based upon the evidence or law in support of the claim.") Plaintiffs’ attorneys refute this charge, countering that contingency fees and the prevalence of medical errors make the pursuit of meritless lawsuits bad business and unnecessary.

Previous research has established that the great majority of patients who sustain a medical injury as a result of negligence do not sue.

However, the merit of claims that are brought, and the ability of the malpractice system to resolve them appropriately,remainmuchmorecontroversial.
