New Jersey A236 prohibits insurers from raising medical malpractice liability insurance premiums unless a claim results in a settlement, judgment, or.

New Jersey A236 amends existing law to prohibit insurers from increasing medical malpractice liability insurance premiums based on a claim of medical negligence or malpractice against an insured, unless the claim results in a medical malpractice claim settlement, judgment, or arbitration award against the insured. This change aims to prevent insurers from raising premiums based solely on the filing of a claim, provided the claim is dismissed within 180 days of the last responsive pleading.
