Medical malpractice insurance covers doctors and other professionals in the medical field for liability claims arising from their treatment of patients.
The cost of medical malpractice insurance began to rise at the beginning of this decade, after a period of essentially flat prices. Rate increases were precipitated in part by the growing size of claims, particularly in urban areas. Among the other factors driving up prices was a reduced supply of available coverage as several major insurers exited the medical malpractice business because of the difficulty of making a profit.
New research suggests that premium increases may be moderating but for any turnaround to take root significant reforms in the delivery of medical care that focus on patient safety need to occur, industry observers say.
