About one in three physicians reported that they’ve been sued for medical malpractice during their career, a new study from the American Medical Association (AMA) found.
The study analyzed 14,000 responses from AMA Physician Practice Benchmark Surveys between 2016 and 2022. The longer a physician works in the industry, the higher their risk of getting a malpractice claim.
In summary, almost half of physicians over the age of 54 have been sued in their career, versus 9.5% of physicians younger than 40 years old. Specialty and gender influenced the likelihood of being sued. For example, general surgeons and ob-gyns, as well as men physicians, had the highest risk, per the AMA report.
