New York leads by a wide margin when it comes to medical malpractice payouts. The question is whether this is a result of more lawsuits leading to payouts or if there are vastly more malpractice cases in New York. Further, since only 20% of lawsuits result in payouts the deserved amount per state may be much higher.
