Wondering if you should be protected by malpractice or professional liability insurance?
Many medical professionals and facilities face malpractice exposures. Hospitals, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals provide services that could potentially cause bodily injury to patients. The general public holds you in high regard, which necessitates that you be error-free in their treatment. But you are human and humans make mistakes. And if you make a mistake, odds are you will be sued. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, or if you have any question about your exposure, please contact us for a no-obligation consultation to determine if you need malpractice insurance.
- Do you treat patients?
- Do you provide support services to the medical community?
- Does your work involve contact with the human body?
- Could a mistake harm or even kill a client?
Who should have medical malpractice insurance?
If you provide services that could result in bodily injury or death, malpractice insurance is essential. Malpractice insurance provides coverage for when you make a mistake or are wrongfully accused of causing a person's injury or death. For example, if an anesthesiologist administers too much anesthesia and harms his patient, his medical malpractice insurance would cover resulting damages. Medical malpractice is sometimes called hospital insurance, doctor insurance, nurse malpractice insurance or liability malpractice insurance.
After a decade of decreases in hospital professional liability claims, the frequency of claims is on the rise and is expected to continue increasing at a 1 percent annual rate.
