In most cases, doctors do not pay out of their own pockets when they lose medical malpractice cases. They avoid personal payment by carrying medical malpractice insurance.
When they lose or settle a case, the medical malpractice insurance company will likely pay the damages or settlement amount. That amount will often vary by the extent, significance, and financial hardship of the victim.
