Title:

Medical Malpractice Costs

Description:

Doctors will often suggest that having to purchase medical malpractice insurance costs a doctor a significant amount of potential income each year but what most doctors don't want their patients and a Maryland medical malpractice lawyer to know is that the average physician pays only around three percent of their yearly revenue for malpractice insurance. This means that overall even the percentage paid by OB-GYN doctors, who usually have the highest insurance rates, is only just under seven percent.  This means that large jury awards are not currently driving medical malpractice costs out of control in most circumstances.
