Medical Malpractice Insurance
Medical Malpractice Insurance, also known as Medical Indemnity Insurance, can protect doctors, dentists, nurses, and aesthetics practitioners from any potential claims made against them for breach of professional duties as a medical professional.
Acts of professional negligence typically include a breach of duty or care or omissions. Claims can include injury, physical or mental harm or the misdiagnosis of a patient or customer. These potential claims are often accusations which can be defended to protect you and your business’s reputation.
Medical Malpractice Insurance can be tailored for most medical professionals and is essential for protecting your career or practice.

What Can Medical Malpractice Insurance Cover?
Claims-made
This is the most common type. Claims-made policies cover you for any claims/incidents which are reported to insurers during the policy year. If you are aware of a patient who is dissatisfied with a service you have provided, or you have received a solicitor’s letter from a patient you previously treated, you must advise your insurer. This type of cover will cover claims which may arise from previous treatments provided subject to no break in cover. When you first take out this type of policy, your insurers will provide you with a ‘retroactive date’ which will follow you through your career and this date must be given to any new providers should you change insurer. Any retroactive cover will be based on the previous cover.
Occurrence-made policy
This policy isn’t very common but would cover claims/incidents which may arise from services performed during the policy period, irrespective of whether the policy is still in effect.
We Can Also Arrange Sector-Specific Covers Including...
- Clinical negligence claims
- Inquests
- Contract disputes
- Crisis communications
- Disciplinary investigations
