Malpractice Insurance
A malpractice insurance policy is a financial coverage plan that aims to protect medical practitioners against financial losses while rendering professional services. Being a type of professional indemnity insurance plan provides coverage against a patient’s negligence claim.
The applicability of a malpractice liability insurance plan extends in case of lawsuits filed by patients against a medical professional, claiming financial losses suffered due to neglect, intentional errors, or omissions during treatment. An experienced malpractice insurance plan thus protects a doctor against such contingent financial losses.
