"No matter whether you win or lose, you die a little with every case"

Indeed:

Although 70 percent of malpractice cases are either dropped or dismissed by the plaintiffs, being sued exacts a terrible toll. I won my own case at trial in 2002 after six years of litigation, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about what I lost in the process in terms of the weeks spent reviewing, preparing, educating lawyers, being deposed and finally going to trial.
