A lot of malpractice law suits end up settle out of court which will not be counted. For insurance company, court-trial is expensive. 70% win still only is tip of iceburge. Winning case is still costly for the insurance and MDs.

So the strategy is prevention of suit in the first place.

Settlement out of court include many reasons include small amount of claims, unwinnable cases, ect.
