Doctors, nurses or professionals that can primarily injure humans usually
purchase malpractice insurance. Medical malpractice insurance covers doctors
and other professionals in the medical field for liability claims arising from their
treatment of patients. Malpractice insurance policies have limits for both single
claims and an overall annual total or agregate limit.
|
|
A wrongful act is most often described as an actual or alleged unintentional
negligent act, error or omission. Professional liability insurance policies offer
coverage to professionals who may commit a wrongful act. It protects you
against claims made by your clients alleging that you were negligent in providing
or failing to provide your professional services.
|
|
Architects, engineers, IT technicians, home inspectors, and people that work
with things or structures typically purchase errors & omissions insurance.
|
|
Insurance premium amounts will depend on a number of factors, including the
level of professional responsibility, the location of the business or practice, and
the coverage limits of insurance liability that are chosen.

|
An insurance policy in force today when a claim is made, and responds to that
claim, is a Claims Made insurance coverage.
For instance: you have a claims made policy with a retroactive date from 2005.
You submit a claim today for a patient you treated in 2006, your policy today (your
insurance carrier today) would cover that claim.
A claims made insurance policy will cover claims reported during the policy
period and are triggered by an event that occurred on or after the policy
retroactive date. The retroactive date is the day the claims made insurance policy
was purchased.
|
|
Occurrence insurance coverage is based on the event that triggers a claim
rather than the claim itself. Any claim that is triggered by an event when the
insurance policy was in force will be covered, regardless of whether the policy is
still in force when the claim is submitted.
For instance: a doctor treats a patient in 2005 and receives a claim today for that
treatment. The doctors insurance policy with ABC insurance carrier in 2005 will
cover that claim.
