Abstract/Notes Today's National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (NCMIC) evolved from the legal protective services offered initially by the Universal Chiropractors' Association, and subsequently, by the National Chiropractic Association (NCA). At first these services focused on the criminal defence of chiropractors charged with unlicensed practice. However, as an increasing number of jurisdictions enacted chiropractic statutes, the NCA's legal program became ever more involved in civil litigation: suits for malpractice and negligence. Steering the NCA throughout its tumultuous voyage was its longtime secretary-treasurer, Loran M. Rogers, D.C. When the NCA spun off its legal services division in 1946, forming the National Chiropractic Insurance Company (predecessor of the NCMIC), Rogers continued his work as executive secretary-treasurer of the malpractice insurer.This abstract is reproduced with the permission of the publisher; full text by subscription.
