What is Malpractice Insurance?
Malpractice insurance is a type of professional liability insurance. It's purchased by healthcare professionals and protects against patients (or their families) who might file a malpractice lawsuit. Medical negligence or errors can happen during diagnosis, treatment, or during follow-up care. Studies show that medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the United States; the statistics indicate that most healthcare professionals will need malpractice coverage at some point. An average American doctor can expect to have a malpractice case brought up against them once every seven years. Getting the right coverage can protect you, your practice, and your employees from huge financial strains; they cover medical damages, punitive damages, and legal costs.
There are multiple types of malpractice insurance; a claims-made policy will cover claims that are made when the policy was in effect when the treatment occurred and when the lawsuit was made. An occurrence policy will cover any claim that was made on a treatment that occurred while the policy was in effect - even if the policy has expired.
The best time to get the malpractice insurance is before you need it. Our team will review your circumstances and match you with the policy that best suits your needs.
Does Umbrella Insurance Include Professional Liability & Malpractice?

In the event you are sued and the limits on your malpractice insurance policy are exceeded, having an umbrella insurance policy can help you pay up to the policy coverage limit.
