State Tort Reform Improves Liability Climates
[By Staff Writers]
The American Medical Association (AMA) recently reduced the number of states in liability “crisis” to 17 by the end of 2007, down from 21 in 2006, while upgrading Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi and West Virginia to a more “moderate” liability environment.
Before passing various tort reforms of the past few years, those states had been listed as being in “crisis” because unaffordable insurance premiums were forcing physicians to retire early, give up high-risk procedures or leave the state.
Still, pundits caution that some legislative changes have yet to take hold, and other states face legal threats, preventing significant decreases in premiums.
What do you think – is the malpractice liability crisis over?
