What is Nursing Malpractice Insurance?
Nursing malpractice insurance, also known as nursing liability insurance, is financial protection designed to cover judgements, settlements, along with legal expenses of nursing professionals in the case of a malpractice lawsuit. In the event of a malpractice claim, whether the accusation is true or not, nursing professionals could be expected to pay large amounts in judgement, settlement or legal fees. The best protection against a financially damaging lawsuit and high legal fees is medical malpractice insurance. As a nursing professional, your employer’s group liability policy may prioritize their interests over yours. Owning your own individual nursing insurance policy, IN YOUR OWN NAME, will protect you, your family and your career, as well as your hard-earned personal assets.
What Risks Do I Face That Warrants Nurse Malpractice Insurance?
Nursing professionals work with patients in a variety of ways. Many are responsible for working with or treating patients directly which means that they are at risk of being named in a malpractice suit if something should go wrong. Nursing professionals often interact with patients more than any other medical professional in a hospital or office – so, with that much direct exposure to patients, nurses need to be able to properly perform their duties without the constant fear of potential litigation. Nurse malpractice insurance is the best way to protect and defend, as well as provide peace of mind, for nursing professionals.
