Working in medicine is a difficult but rewarding career filled with long nights, hard calls and valuable patient interaction. Unfortunately, the stress doesn’t always disappear when you go home. Mistakes made at work can have serious or even fatal effects, leading to lawsuits against medical professionals or even entire practices. New York is among the highest each year for medical malpractice lawsuits.

Paris-Kirwan Associates, Inc. understands how important your practice and patients are to you. We will help evaluate your risks and devise a plan to protect your practice and professionals against possible lawsuits caused by innocent mistakes.

What is Medical Malpractice Insurance?

Medical malpractice insurance is another name for professional liability insurance, or errors and omissions insurance. Medical malpractice insurance specifically covers professional liability claims against medical professionals and medical practices.

What Does Medical Malpractice Insurance Cover?

This insurance is primarily designed to cover lawsuits filed against medical practices and medical professionals. Unlike general liability insurance, medical malpractice specifically does not cover basic claims of bodily injury and property damage. Instead, medical malpractice insurance covers claims by clients concerning monetary loss caused by professional negligence.

Compensation includes:

  • Court costs
  • Medical damages
  • Attorneys’ fees
  • Settlement costs
  • Punitive and compensatory damages
  • Arbitration costs

Medical damages include medical bills a patient may face as a result of professional negligence, such as a mistake during surgery causing the need for a follow-up surgery.

Protect Your Practice

Medical malpractice suits can be extremely serious. Speak with an agent about protecting your livelihood and all those involved in an accident. Call Paris-Kirwan Associates, Inc. at (585) 473-8000or fill out an online quote form to get started.
