According to a 7/06 American Medical Association study:
a. The AMA has identified the following twenty-one states currently experiencing a medical liability crisis: Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
b. Twenty two states, the District of Columbia, and Guam are seeing the warning signs of a potential crisis.
c. Only six states are considered stable: California, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
d. As the result of reforms passed in 2003, including passage of a constitutional amendment and a strong cap on noneconomic damages, Texas is now considered a state with effective reforms halting the crisis.
If you need further information, the AMA should be able to supply it.
