I just came across a surprising article in Cosmetic Surgery Times ("Juries tend to favor doctors in malpractice cases"):

According to a new study — and contrary to what many might think — juries in medical malpractice cases usually sympathize more with the physician than with the patient, reports news source Reuters Health.

Now I gotta admit, that's not what I would have expected. I'm sure insurance companies know this, I wonder what math they use to decide when to settle?
