Claims Frequency & Severity in 2026
This month we're taking a look at the data available to physicians regarding their risk of malpractice litigation in the US.
We are typically limited to survey data, national insurance company claims data, and data from the National Practitioner Data Bank. We discuss some of the limitations of these, and our increasing appetite for more specialty-specific, geography-specific granular data, and the potential for building better databases that pull comprehensively from these resources and local public records. Doctors deserve clarity and specificity of information in order to make informed decisions about where, and whether, and in what manner, to practice.
