I need to do a 3000 word essay on law and economics relating to negligence rule compared to a no fault regime.
"Is a no fault regime better than a negligence rule as a way of dealing with the causes and consequences of medical error?"

Can anyone help me find academic sources and/or journal articles that would help me answer this question, specifically relating to medical error. A summary of arguments and reasoning would also be appreciated

simplicitus
I would look to the situation with auto insurance and the transition to no fault there.

As for medical applications, take a look at:
