Ohio tort-reform legislation involving malpractice cases established a system to track malpractice cases across the state. The legislation stemmed from a debate blaming lawyers and "costly" jury verdicts for high malpractice insurance rates. In its first results, the OH Department of Insurance reported that 5,000 malpractice cases closed statewide in 2005, with an average payout of $270,000.  Tracy Wheeler, Akron Beacon Journal
