Judge Rules State Must Publicize
Confidential Malpractice Settlements

HACKENSACK, N.J. -- New Jersey will have to release information on settlements between doctors and medical malpractice plaintiffs to the public, a state Superior Court judge ruled Friday. The ruling by Judge Sybil Moses will require the state to disclose notices it has received in the last five years from insurance companies that have made medical malpractice payments on behalf of doctors.
