Is This A Fair Practice That The Medical Malpractice Insurance Companies Follow?

Question by Jeffrey | Posted in Law & Ethics

If a person over 65 gets damaged by a medical doctors error they get very little $$$ to compensate them
With this small amount of money they will need other family members to chip in money to cover the cost of living with their malpractice injury.

Even if the injured person was in great physical shape before the injury

Don't these people realize that in the future they will also past age 65 and be subject to these same conditions

Answer: Insurance compensation is supposed to cover real financial dmages.
You had poor legal representation.
 
 

Why Are Medical Malpractice Insurance Companies Soo Profitable In California?

Question by FOOD FIGHT! | Posted in Politics

They only pay 29% of premiums and of course that does not include the profits they make from investing their reserves? This while most insurance companies pay out 85% of their premiums in claims.
Based on income statement from all publicly traded companies for the years 1999 to 2006.

Why are they able to charge so much more than what they pay out?

Answer: because by law doctors have to buy malpractice insurance.

so why not just jack up the price.

Dentist And The Malpractice Insurance They Are Required To Carry. What Is Lawsuit Protocol?

Question by Nevada W | Posted in Law & Ethics

I am in medical malpractice settlement negotiations with a dentist. Her insurance company was handling the negotiations, then the dentist license expired and the insurance company dropped the dentist. The dentist obtained a new policy from a new insurance company. Now the original insurance company has dropped out of negotiations. Is it possible that the original insurance company wants me to file suit against the dentist, and then the new insurance company will have to defend the dentist? Or, because the first insurance company received the initial settlement letter with notice of intent to sue, they will have to carry on and defend the dentist even though they no longer have the dentist as

Answer: You definitely need an attorney to work through this now. The dentist and the insurance company have dealt with you in bad faith. The insurance company probably did hope that you'd just go away. You aren't going to be able to fight this on your own, unfortunately. It's hard to say, without specialized knowledge of the laws in your area, to know who is responsible--the dentist, the old insurance company, or the new insurance company. Find a malpractice attorney who will work on contingency--don't pay an attorney anything up front.

Do You Think That There Is More Of An Issue With Medical Malpractice Insurance Than Actual Malpractice Claims?

Question by FOOD FIGHT! | Posted in Insurance

I think most of us agree that getting health care costs under control is getting malpractice insurance costs under control

Are doctors over a barrel with malpractice insurance like the rest of us are with Health insurance.

I have found this link to an article titled No Correlation between payouts and Insurance premiums concerning malpractice insurance.
http://www.atlanet.org/cps/rde/xchg/just ice/hs.xsl/8689.htm

Why did I think the problem was claims? Was it just insurance company propoganda that I was hearing? What do you think?

Answer: The American Trial Lawyers Association is not in favor of tort reform? Who knew?

It is revealing that they don't mention the hidden cost of defensive medicine.

The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) provided a useful definition of defensive medicine in 1994.

“Defensive medicine occurs when doctors order tests, procedures, or visits, or avoid high-risk patients or procedures, primarily (but not necessarily or solely) to reduce their exposure to malpractice liability. When physicians do extra tests or procedures primarily to reduce malpractice liability, they are practicing positive defensive medicine. When they avoid certain patients
