Ted, > Then you explain to me if medical malpractice can not be proven to cause celebral palsy, then why do so many attorneys think they can win in a lawsuit?

Because the rewards are astronomically high. If there's even a 5% chance of winning the case, that's enough for the ambulance chasers.

Of course, many of these cases end up getting settled at the expense of malpractice insurance. As long as the costs can be passed off to some "unknown entity," these shakedowns will continue.

And people wonder why health care costs continue to rise. Follow the money ...
