That is just a horrible and sad situation. My prayers go out to the family. It'll cost Duke Millions I believe.

Yet , I do think that this is an extreme example and believe most malpractice lawsuits (from what I've read)are usually settled for less than 250k. And most filed, I think its 75%, are unsuccessful against the plantiffs. The media usually loves to run these stories.

Malpractice Insurance was created for extreme cases like this..
