Professional lability insurance: I. A historical perspective.
Medical professional liability insurance (also known as malpractice insurance) is designed specifically to protect physicians, clinics, hospitals and health care facilities, and other health personnel in the event that a patient files a claim against them, alleging negligence, with resulting injury or harm. It is one of the largest expenses for any medical practice and is a high priority concern of every physician. The market for this insurance, the approach to evaluating it, and the cost of it have changed dramatically in the last 20 years.
