Concerns about potential malpractice liability are top of mind for many physicians of all specialties. This is not surprising given recent verdicts in medical malpractice actions that have awarded millions of dollars in damages to plaintiffs.
Even outside of high-profile malpractice cases, most physicians are aware that the nature of their work puts them at higher risk for liability than those in other professions. Most also know that their physician colleagues across the United States can and do face judgments that can put their personal assets in jeopardy and would like to take steps to protect themselves and their families.
