Scenarios where

General Practitioners & Doctors Need Insurance

If a doctor makes an error in diagnosis or treatment that leads to harm or injury to a patient, they may face a medical malpractice lawsuit. In this scenario, Professional Indemnity Insurance (malpractice insurance) is essential to cover legal expenses, settlement costs, or judgments against the doctor.

With the increasing reliance on electronic health records, general practitioners store sensitive patient information electronically. In the event of a data breach, the practice may be held liable for the exposure of patient data. Cyber Liability Insurance would be needed to cover the costs of investigating the breach, notifying affected patients, and potential legal actions stemming from the breach.

A patient or visitor slipping and falling on the clinic’s premises due to a wet floor or other hazards can result in a liability claim. Public Liability Insurance would provide coverage for legal defense and any settlements or damages awarded to the injured party.
