What insurance do dental/nurses, healthcare workers, paramedics need … Professional Indemnity Insurance or Medical Malpractice Insurance?
Firstly it maybe an idea to explain the difference between the two common titles used to cover the medical professions. The Professional Indemnity Insurance policy title is used more often than perhaps the Medical Malpractice Insurance one, which can spread confusion, but in reality both policies, adapted, or used for the medical professions have wordings that are very similar.
Of course some insurance companies can give more or less cover but in general the wordings follow the same types of cover. The main body of this insurance policy will cover both the legal cost to defend an allegation against you and in the event you were found to be neglectful in your duties then it could then cover any damages awarded. All of course subject to your policy terms and conditions.
One thing you need to be careful about when purchasing a Professional Indemnity Insurance is that it doesn’t have a bodily injury exclusion, as many of the standard professions (outside the medical professions) would carry this exclusion.
