Medical Malpractice Insurance
Medical malpractice insurance (or medical liability insurance) is designed for healthcare professionals to protect them in the event of any allegations of medical malpractice or clinical negligence. Over recent years there has been a notable rise in legal action being taken as the population grows and more people seek private medical treatment. Given the complexity of this sector it makes practical sense to seek independent expert advice on your insurance requirements:
- Comprehensive cover tailored to your business
- Legal expenses to defend actions brought against you or your company
- Wide range of healthcare professions covered
- Cover extends to include freelance professionals under your supervision
