Medical liability insurance is a vital tool for any successful career in medicine, but many physicians don’t take the time to understand the coverage they have and the importance of knowing the options available to them. A specialized type of professional liability insurance, medical malpractice insurance provides coverage to physicians for liability arising from care that allegedly results in a patient’s injury or death. A majority of American doctors face at least one medical malpractice lawsuit in the course of their career. This presentation will discuss the three pillars of Medical Professional Liability Insurance: Coverage; Risk Support; and Claims Defense, and the different types of policies available to you as a physician.
