A 236 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits insurers from raising medical malpractice liability insurance premiums under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill prohibits insurers from raising medical malpractice insurance premiums when a claim against a healthcare provider is dismissed within 180 days of the last court filing. Premiums may only increase if a claim results in a settlement, court judgment, or arbitration award against the provider. The law directly affects doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals who purchase this insurance. It prevents insurers from penalizing providers for dismissed claims, focusing only on outcomes where liability was established.
