Abstract
Tort “crises” and serious interest among policy-makers in tort reform are inter-related, cyclical phenomena in the United States. In the mid-1970s, and again in the mid-1980s, medical malpractice markets across the country experienced rapid increases in the frequency of claims, rising premiums, and in some places, shrinking options for professional indemnity coverage. A wave of tort reform measures followed, the majority of which were designed to chill the interest of plaintiffs' attorneys in bringing suit.
