Case law professor says medical malpractice crisis is the result of an unfair system
August 18, 2003, CLEVELAND—The nation is in the midst of a medical malpractice crisis. Doctors and hospitals in many states, including Ohio, are complaining that premiums for malpractice insurance are so high that they are forced to abandon many forms of high-risk practice, such as obstetrics, thus depriving patients of needed medical services. Many states, again including Ohio, are considering or have enacted changes to their tort laws, tightening the rules under which patients can sue for malpractice and placing caps on how much they can recover. Trial lawyers, meanwhile, dispute the evidence claiming that caps on malpractice awards have held down insurance premiums. "Resolving the Medical Malpractice Crisis: Fairness Considerations." Max Mehlman, the Arthur E. Petersilge Professor at the Case School of Law, professor of biomedical ethics, and director of the Case Law-Medicine Center, wrote the paper as part of a larger study of the medical malpractice crisis in Pennsylvania, commissioned by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
