Insurance claims against doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have stabilized for the first time in years, according to a new survey.
The seventh annual Aon Hospital Professional Liability and Physician Liability Benchmark Analysis measured 47,735 claims representing more than $4.4 billion of incurred losses in the United States from 1996 through 2005.
While the overall frequency of medical malpractice claims has not increased for the second straight year, the average size of malpractice claims continues to rise.
