title: [Experiences of medical professional liability insurers with medical malpractice].
abstract: A doctor's third-party liability is one of the highest risk classes. This is not due to increasing claims expenditure only, but in particular to the issue of long-tail claims. This class imposes high demands on a third party liability insurer (underwriter), who must not only be well-versed in pricing and underwriting and highly competent in settling claims in both a professional and socially responsible manner, but has a duty to exhaust all possibilities of risk management.
