Medical malpractice insurance covers doctors and other medical professionals for liability claims that may arise from patient treatment. Over the past decade, the cost of medical malpractice insurance has risen significantly. Rate hardening was a consequence of the growing number and size of claims and a corresponding decline in market capacity. This industry underwrites (i.e. assuming the risk and assigning premiums) medical malpractice insurance, which is purchased by physicians and hospitals to cover the cost of lawsuits regarding malpractice.Checked out: The industry will likely struggle to increase demand due to state regulations
