COLUMBUS - Those suing doctors and hospitals for malpractice would have to immediately back up their claims with a medical expert under a bill signed into law yesterday by Gov. Bob Taft. A companion bill also signed yesterday would force malpractice insurance companies to provide advance notice of their intentions to raise premiums, cancel policies, or stop writing policies in certain specialties or geographic areas of the state.
