Have questions about CM&F professional liability insurance policies?
View our full library of our most frequently asked questions.
Will I have to pay additional legal fees?

Many insurance carriers include the legal costs inside the per claim Limit. For example if you have $1,000,000 Per Claim Coverage and the claim settles for $1,000,000 the client would have to pay the legal costs associated with the claim since they are not paid “In Addition To the Policy Limit”. Legal costs can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in certain cases. The CM&F policy will pay all legal fees in addition to the indemnity payment. In the example above the CM&F policy would pay the full amount.

Is my consent required to settle on claims?

Most liability and malpractice insurance policies DO NOT ALLOW the client to fight a claim if they feel they are not at fault. Instead most insurance companies have what is called a “Hammer Clause”. The “Hammer Clause” allows the client to force the insurance defense to move on with the one stipulation. If the claim ultimately pays more than what the insurance company had asked you to settle for the difference is paid by the client. For example, a claim settlement is offered at $100,000 to the Physical Therapists and their insurance company. The PT did nothing wrong and argues to fight the claim in court. If the insurance company has a “Hammer Clause” that PT would have to pay the difference between the ultimate award and the $100,000. This could be many tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. The CM&F insurance policy will fight on and pay the full claim regardless if the client chooses not to settle.

Do CM&F policies cover sexual misconduct claims?

The CM&F insurance policy offers up to $1,000,000 in defense coverage for any sexual misconduct claims. Legal fees are EXTREMELY expensive in today’s world. Most companies only offer $25,000 in legal / defense costs. How far will that get you if you are falsely alleged to touch a client inappropriately? CM&F wants to protect their clients to the maximum amount.

Why should I consider an individual professional liability Insurance plan from CM&F?

Millions of medical professionals do not trust their employer’s insurance and purchase individual liability protection. An employer’s insurance policy inherently looks out for the employer and not the employee. A policy with CM&F is designed to protect our clients and gives them the power and protection they need if a claim is made.
