Because of the limits placed by Wisconsin law on some losses resulting from medical malpractice, and because medical malpractice insurance companies aggressively defend against such claims, experienced malpractice lawyers prepare each case as if it will go to trial. The best opportunity to settle a medical malpractice case occurs after all preparations for trial have been completed. A higher percentage of medical malpractice cases go to trial than other types of personal injury cases.
