The frequency and severity of medical malpractice claims increased dramatically in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In response to the malpractice crisis, many states enacted changes in tort law applicable to medical practitioners. This report presents some empirical evidence on the contribution of various factors to the diversity in the frequency and severity of claims across states and over time. Section II provides an overview of countrywide trends in claims for different lines of liability insurance and differences among states in malpractice litigation. Section III presents a theoretical model of the frequency and severity of medical malpractice claims. Section IV describes the data and methodological issues. Section V reports the empirical analysis of frequency of claims per capita, average severity per claim, and average claim cost per capita. Section VI analyzes the determinants of the post-1975 tort reforms. Section VII summarizes the findings and policy implications.

This report updates an earlier analysis (RAND/R-2870-ICJ/HCFA) of the effects of demographic, medical, and legal factors on the frequency and severity of medical malpractice claims. Using claims data from 1975-1984, the author analyzes the effects of tort reform on malpractice claims after taking into account the effects of other variables that have previously been shown to correlate with claims frequency and severity. The evidence from the study suggests that the last round of tort reforms affected the frequency and severity of malpractice claims over the decade 1975-1984 in a way broadly consistent with theory and previous evidence. Claim frequency per physician has grown at roughly 10 percent a year and severity has increased at twice the consumer price inflation rate. Nevertheless, tort changes have had some effect. States that enacted shorter statutes of limitations and set outer limits on discovery rules have had less growth in claim frequency than would otherwise have been predicted. States with statutes permitting or mandating the offset of collateral benefits had 14 percent fewer claims, and 11 to 18 percent smaller payouts, than would otherwise have been predicted. States with caps on awards have reduced severity by 23 percent. Arbitration statutes appear to have increased claim frequency but reduced average severity.

How often are patients seriously injured through faulty medical care? And what proportion of these people receive compensation for their injuries and suffering? This is the first book that tries to answer these questions in a careful, scholarly way. Among its important findings is that at most one in ten patients injured through medical negligence receives compensation through the malpractice system. The focus of public attention has been on the rising cost to physicians of malpractice insurance. Although Patricia Danzon analyzes this question thoroughly, her view is much broader, encompassing the malpractice system itself--the legal process, the liability insurance markets, and the feedback to health care. As an economist, she is concerned with the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the system from the point of view of its three social purposes: deterrence of medical negligence, compensation of injured patients, and the spreading of risk. To provide evidence of the operation of the system in practice, to distinguish fact from allegation, and to evaluate proposals for reform, she has undertaken a detailed empirical analysis of malpractice claims and insurance markets. It is a major contribution to our understanding of how the system works in practice and how it might be improved.
