Malpractice

A former insurance executive told a special legislative panel that insurers trying to recoup losses caused by bad business decisions are to blame for skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance rates. "This is a crisis created by the medical malpractice insurers because of their own ineptness during the 1990s and the collapse of interest rates during the last few years," said Howard P. Weiss, former senior vice president for MIIX Insurance Co. of Lawrenceville, Mercer County.
