Medical Malpractice Insurance
Medical malpractice insurance provides indemnity for professional negligence by act or omission by a healthcare provider in which the treatment provided falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to the patient.
Any individual or company that provides a service within the healthcare industry is at risk of being sued by a dissatisfied patient. Whether a treatment goes wrong or the patient alleges that a treatment has gone wrong, there will often be a claim made for compensation.

It is important to ensure your past work is protected as due to the statute of limitation a patient has up to 3 years to make a claim from the time they become aware of the error, and then another 3 years from the point they intimate a claim. Therefore it is important you’re protected during this time regardless of if you are working or not.
