Medical Liability Insurance

The issue of medical liability has reached crisis proportions in the United States today. Such is a consequence of the burgeoning number of suits, the exorbitant damages awarded, and the excessive premiums or inavailability of medical liability insurance. Pediatrics has until recently been a low-risk specialty, but now suits are being brought against pediatricians with increasing frequency, especially against neonatologists. Medical liability suits are brought on many different legal theories. Broad attempts are being made to solve the problem. Pediatricians can and should take prophylactic steps to ward off such suits.

Medical Liability Insurance

The medical liability crisis is affecting our healthcare system. Medical liability and limited physician and hospital access to malpractice insurance have pushed many providers to leave their states, reduce their services, or simply retire. For many, a labor of love has become an agonizing search for insurance to ensure continued practice in an industry for which they trained eight, fifteen, or even twenty years. Limited insurance and potential liability has also led to defensive medicine, in which providers try to avoid lawsuits by ordering tests, procedures, and anything else that might help protect against liability. Moreover, providers may also attempt to avoid high-risk patients or practices altogether to limit opportunities for lawsuits. Although it is questionable whether these efforts actually help, the provider perception of self-preservation through defensive medicine is undeniable—and providers, like everyone, act on their perceptions.
