Philadelphia could see 600 medical malpractice filings this year, 46% more than pre-pandemic

Cases filed in Philadelphia increased after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court changed a rule to allow certain cases to be filed in the city even if the injury took place in another county.

Philadelphia is on track to see 600 new medical malpractice cases this year. That would be a 10% increase from last year and a 46 increase from the three years before the pandemic.
