著者：
Four hundred thousand preventable hospital deaths occur in the U.S. every year, while only seventeen thousand malpractice claims are filed - leaving roughly three hundred and eighty-three thousand deaths without legal action. How did a system emerge that filters out so many grieving families before they even reach a courtroom?
In this episode, we trace the gap between documented preventable deaths and filed claims, showing what families must prove to bring a malpractice case and why decades of reforms have failed to narrow that gap. What exactly are the five legal elements that keep most cases from ever being litigated?
