The Texas Medical Liability Insurance Underwriting Association, also known as the JUA or Joint Underwriting Association, was established in 1975 as a temporary solution to the medical liability insurance crisis in Texas. It was created by statute to ensure the availability of medical professional liability insurance to licensed medical providers and facilities who are unable to obtain coverage in the standard insurance market.
The JUA was formed due to the discontinuation of coverage by private insurance companies during the mid-1970s. Its purpose is to provide a solution for those facing market restrictions in obtaining medical professional liability insurance. With its headquarters located in Austin, Texas, the association plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability of insurance coverage for medical providers and facilities across the state.
