§ 1399.186. Disclosure of Civil Settlements.
Upon request, the Board will disclose the following information which is in its possession concerning settlements of civil actions in an amount of $30,000 or more seeking recovery of damages for death or personal injury caused by the professional negligence, errors, or omissions of a speech-language pathologist or audiologist or his or her unauthorized practice:
“Settlement of a claim may occur for a variety of reasons that do not necessarily reflect negatively on the professional competence or conduct of the speech-language pathologist or audiologist. A payment in settlement of a professional malpractice action or claim should not be construed as creating a presumption that professional malpractice in fact occurred.”
