List of Malpractice Insurance Companies
According to the American Medical Association, malpractice insurance, also called professional liability insurance, is a high-priority concern for physicians and surgeons. Doctors must base the decision on how much insurance coverage to carry on several factors, including type of practice and individual state law. A number of U.S. insurance companies specialize in offering malpractice coverage.
