Contrary to what the AMA would have your believe the reason for high medical Malpractice insurance in New York is not because of lawyer suits. But the real reason these rates are so astronomical is the inability of Doctors to regulate themselves. Thankfully, Govenor Paterson’s plan will do that. A start would be to Revoke Doctors licenses who are found to be guilty of multiple medical malpractice. Any experienced New York Injury Lawyer would tell you there is a dangerous short list of Doctors to stay away from. It’s amazing that some of them haven’t lost their licenses already, which would prevent patient suffering and lower the high premiums New York doctors pay for insurance coverage.
Part of the Govenor’s plan would include screening malpractice cases and settlements which would initiate investigations of suspect doctors based on both the magnitude and frequency of the malpractice cases. Despite the best effort of any New York Injury Lawyer to keep Doctors from continuing their reckless behavior, they’re only recourse was to get money for they’re client. Now that the state is monitoring the Docotrs that get sued, a victory not only gets a client money damages but also can potentially stop the doctor from working again.
According to many reports some Doctors have remained in practice after settling over 30 lawsuits from Medical Malpractice attorneys by patients they had seriously harmed. A relatively small number do a huge amount of damage while driving up malpractice insurance rates for all their colleagues.
Paterson also would require HMOs and other health plans to alert the department when they boot a doctor from a network because of incompetence. Hospitals are already required to make such a notification.

Shane Reese, a 12 year old Bronx boy, was sitting out of gym class in Intermediate School 219; located at 3630 3rd Ave. Bronx, NY 10456, last December. He was not playing because he had recently been in a car accident and suffered injury that required dental work. It was raining that day and teachers had brought 6 classes into the gym to play inside. They then handed out soccer balls, instead of soft foam balls, and told the children to play dodgeball. There were more than 100 children into the gymnasium at the time. School officials did not comment on how many teachers were in the gym supervising. During the chaos, one of the dodgeballs flew across the gym and hit Shane in the face, breaking his teeth and ruining his newly repaired dental work. Dodgeball has been discouraged since 1996 but has never been officially banned. Reese’s family has filed a lawsuit against the Bronx middle school. Reports say the school has offered Reese $20,000.00 to settle the case without having to go to court, but the report also says the family will let the judge decide on a fair amount.
