The medical liability reform, passed in 2003 by Governor Rick Perry, has generally shown steady decline in physician liability insurance rates in the years since it was passed.
Well, the articles just keep on coming regarding the appealing benefits that Texas is offering. The article below is in response to a recent report that just came out detailing how medical malpractice rates in the state are continuing to decrease.

In a statement released today, the board of governors of the Texas Medical Liability Trust announced policyholders would receive an average rate decrease of almost 7 percent. In addition, renewing policyholders will receive an 18.5 percent dividend.
