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 in 2007. Almost 40% practitioners will face a claim in the next 5 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, specializes in medmal and has access to nationwide databases of expert witnesses and specialty-specific trial data. Our claims experts provide you with an average of over 20 years of claims management expertise. No one provides a more complete and balanced defense for physicians.
 
We have bags full of letters from our insured thanking us for making sure justice was done. In addition they thank us for helping them retain dignity in the process, helping them really understand the consequences and doing the right thing. In the boxes to the right we're proud to share a few of those stories.

One in eight doctors will be sued this year. Is your protection ready?
"This claim was the most traumatic experience Ive ever had to face.

Medical Protective got involved right away and helped me through the legal parts of this process. They told me my rights, they hired the best attorneys (I did some research and theyre not cutting any corners on defense!). They helped me realize this wasnt a reflection on me or my practice.

The past six years have been extremely difficult. Yet, what saw me through those difficult times was the sage guidance of excellent legal representation and compassionate claims manager.

I would have never made it through without Medical Protective."
