Kentucky Medical Malpractice Attorneys: Malpractice Insurers Price-Gouging Doctors
Yet another study shows what Kentucky Malpractice Lawyers have been saying for years: it is the insurance industry, not lawyers or lawsuits that are responsibile for the high premiums doctors pay for medical malpractice coverage.
The report, compiled and authored by Jay Angoff (former Missouri Insurance Commissioner), surveyed annual reports from 15 medical malpractice insurers. Agnoff’s conclusion is that insurers raised MDs’ premiums without reason and have perpetrated a lie by claiming that a so-called “malpractice crisis” exists.
