About your Medical Malpractice Insurance cover
Your Medical Malpractice policy is a legal liability insurance that provides cover for claims made against you by a third party arising from a negligent act, error or omission by you occurring in the course of your business and which results in the third party suffering (and being able to demonstrate)- A financial loss
- Bodily injury (including death, disease, illness and/or mental anguish)
- Damage to their property
In addition to the basic cover, your policy also provides many other features and benefits. Please refer to the policy wording for full details of these.
The maximum payable in respect of any one claim is the amount chosen by you and shown as the 'Limit of Indemnity' in the policy schedule. Unless otherwise stated, costs incurred in the defence or investigation of the claim will be paid in addition to this figure.
Medical Malpractice is different to most other insurances in that it operates on what is known as a 'claims made basis', meaning that the policy will only provide cover for claims or circumstances discovered and notified to the Insurer during the period of insurance, rather than errors or mistakes occurring during the period of insurance.
Limit of Indemnity £1,000,000 per member
Excess applicable £100
