Lawsuits, malpractice, and everything else

Just curious...I know lawsuits are common, but really how common are they? Just curious to see if anyone with a very high number has ever had any issues with getting malpractice insurance. So.... How often have you been sued, were you dismissed or settled? What amount of settlement? Did it affect your life in anyway once it was over? Diminishing future job prospects if high rate of lawsuits?
