Section 27-26-2 Purpose of chapter. It is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of
Alabama that the availability of medical liability insurance at reasonable rates for the medical
profession, medical institutions, and other health care providers is essential to provide
adequate health services to the people of Alabama, and without such insurance, medical services
by the medical profession may be curtailed, and that while the need for such insurance is

complex and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions
may and often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this...
