What is medical malpractice insurance


 

Medical malpractice insurance is a type of professional indemnity insurance that covers medical professionals against claims of medical injury and negligence. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other health professionals often purchase medical malpractice insurance policies to protect against certain claims and damages. Sometimes called Med Mal or medical liability insurance, this type of policy can also protect a lawyer if a case goes to court.

Protection against claims of negligence or error causing injury to others.

 

Defense attorney 


If a covered charge is filed against you, this will give you an experienced medical malpractice attorney. It also pays related defense costs (eg attorney fees, court fees, expert witness fees).

 

 

Universal coverage 


Your policy travels with you, as long as the claim is brought to you in the United States (including US territory or possessions). A good Samaritan blanket. 

If you provide health care to someone outside of your workplace and that person files a lawsuit against you, your policy will still be valid.

 

 

Sexual harassment/abuse 


If a sexual offense (non-criminal) is charged against you, this allows an attorney to represent you and pay the defense fee - unless or until the sexual offense or abuse is determined.
