A Harvard University study has found that 40 percent of the medical malpractice cases filed in the U.S. are groundless. The report said that many of the lawsuits analyzed contained no evidence that a medical error was committed or that the patient suffered any injury. While most of these dubious cases were dismissed with no payout to the patient, groundless lawsuits still accounted for 15 percent of the money paid out in settlements or verdicts.
