Obstetricians Pay Most in Legal Awards
Malpractice premiums drive many out of N.J.

Doctors in New Jersey who bring babies into the world paid nearly three times as much in malpractice payments during the past five years as any other type of physician. A Star-Ledger analysis of malpractice payments released last week by the state also shows obstetrician/gynecologists paid 28 percent of the largest settlements during the same period.
