The report, which is found on the Duval Medical Society website, was NOT written by the society, but by what sounds like another ATLA front. And, yes, I read it, and it's full of the same misquoted and malused statistics found in other ATLA front reports. At least there are some medical societies who'll put this crap on their sites to help educate doctors about the nonsense being spewed by the trail lawyers. So stop twisting the facts - that's the only thing you've taught any of us. CJD,

No thanks. I think I pay a lot for malpractice premiums but a pittance compared to Florida. I am self insured. I guess all their Florida insurers have not done to well with their investments in the stock market. CJD has taught us that.
