Professional Indemnity (Medical Malpractice)

For medical firms and individual practitioners alike, medical malpractice is probably the single most important insurance cover. During the course of your work, despite the best of intentions, things can and do go awry. In simple words, if something you do or fail to do leads to a patient injured due to your negligence in treating them, the lawyers can get involved and will surely circle pretty fast. It could be as simple as moving a patient from their bed to a chair (or vice versa) for a health check, or a contraindication to prescribed medication, or side effects flowing from surgery or other treatment. Effectively, the list of potential issues is just about endless. With the right medical malpractice policy, you can protect yourself and your business from claims of malpractice and ensure major financial losses are avoided.
