COMMENTARY evolving, new standards of care and gaps between the practices of different physicians can emerge rapidly, again leading to divergent expert opinions about appropriate practices. As long as each side can present at least one credible expert who can point to peer-reviewed studies supporting their positions, such cases are likely to be presented to the jury, where the outcome will often be a toss-up dictated by the composition and inclinations of individual jurors.Third, there are likely to be many actual or perceived victims of inadequate or erroneous applications of personalized medicine. Adverse drug effects, for example, are the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for over 100,000 fatalities per year, in addition to more than 2 million hospitalizations. 7 Because genetic testing could arguably prevent a significant fraction of this mortality and morbidity, a large pool of potential plaintiffs will be available to trial lawyers who develop practices in this field.
