Competent defense

The nation's most proactive and consistently winning defense

Your defense is the essence of your professional medical liability insurance. This coverage represents you, your practice, your assets and your reputation in the worst-case scenario – a lawsuit. Obviously, the threat of a lawsuit is real enough to you to warrant the purchase of medmal insurance. Unfortunately the statistics are a bit concerning – one in eight healthcare providers will have a suit filed against them this year. Almost 40% of practitioners will face a claim in the next five years.*

You need the best defense. You need the experience that comes with defending every medical liability case imaginable. Your defense should be intimate with your local jurisdiction, specialize in medmal litigation and have access to a nationwide database of expert witnesses and specialty-specific trial data. Our claims experts provide you with an average of more than 20 years of claims management expertise. No one provides a more complete and balanced defense for physicians.

Here’s what our legal defense team has to say:

“Every doctor should know the benefits of being with an established company like Medical Protective, especially in this climate, when everybody is worried about companies’ abilities to financially step up to the plate. Medical Protective will be there for them through the long haul.”
