| Article: | State fears malpractice suit liability LINCOLN (AP) — State officials are worried that a medical malpractice insurance company might try to get out of paying claims that could arise from a massive hepatitis C outbreak in Fremont.
The Department of Insurance has asked a judge to rule that Medical Protective Co. of Fort Wayne, Ind., must defend Dr. Tahir Javed in scores of lawsuits that have been filed against him.
The Fremont outbreak was the largest of its kind in the nation, and perhaps the world, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |
