In 1986 the Michigan Legislature, in response to the medical malpractice liability crisis of the mid 1980's enacted several statutes which alter the state tort laws. This legislation mandates that physicians liable for malpractice must pay higher insurance premiums for their malpractice insurance coverage in subsequent years. Insurance underwriters must provide coverage to all licensed physicians at a cost based on various risk categories. Compensation paid to plaintiffs is based on economic loss not covered by collateral sources. There is a restriction on non-economic damages; limited to $225,000.Master of Public AdministrationPublic AdministrationUniversity of Michigan-Flinthttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143440/1/Arthur....
