The amount of medical malpractice claims in Missouri has dropped to a record low. According to a state Insurance Department report, more than 3,000 medical malpractice cases were pending at the end of 2008. 

That number marks the lowest point since the state began keeping records 30 years ago. Some analysts attribute the record low to a 2005 Missouri law that restricted medical malpractice lawsuits.
