Professional Malpractice Insurance
Among the types of insurance available to small businesses, you may have overlooked this one. Perhaps you associate the term "malpractice" only with doctors or lawyers. The fact is, however, that malpractice insurance isn't just for doctors and lawyers anymore.
This type of insurance is actually called a variety of names: malpractice insurance , professional insurance , and errors and omissions protection. Regardless of the name, the coverage is designed to help you manage the risks associated with making a costly mistake while advising, or serving, a client.
For example, suppose you worked as a computer programming consultant and committed an error that caused a client to lose valuable data. A professional insurance policy could cover the costs of the client's losses.
If you provide advice or services to the public where significant liability could result if something went wrong, you may want to consider obtaining professional insurance for a couple of reasons. First, depending on your profession, you may be required to carry such insurance by law. Second, certain policies will provide you with low-cost legal representation in the event you are sued. Remember: even if your work is flawless, a customer could still claim that you did something wrong. A good professional insurance policy would help you defray the costs of any lawsuit, regardless of whether the underlying claim has merit.
When we plugged the term "malpractice insurance" into an Internet search engine recently, we found this sampling of occupations for which some form of professional insurance is available:
accountants
attorneys
advertising agencies
computer analysts
consultants
data processors
dentists
doctors
financial planners
notaries
occupational therapists
real estate agents
We don't have space to provide a detailed discussion about the intricacies of purchasing professional insurance in each and every field. However, here are some general principles to keep in mind as you explore your options:
Most policies do not, as a rule, cover intentional wrongdoing. If you — or an employee — intentionally harm a client or a client's property, you will most likely be on your own.
Some policies include attorney services in the event you are sued, but some do not. Because the costs of defending even frivolous malpractice claims can be substantial, it pays to get this added protection if it is available.
Not all mistakes are discovered at the time they are made. In fact, it may take years before a computer programming error, or piece of bad financial advice comes to light. For this reason, pay particular attention to the time period covered by your policy. One policy may, for example, only pay on claims filed while the coverage is in effect. If you get this kind of policy, you'll have to maintain it for a number of years after you go out of business. Another, usually more expensive policy may be tied to when the alleged mistake is made. Be sure that you get the type of coverage best suited to your business.
Malpractice insurance is not a license to be careless. Remember that the level of protection you get is limited to your policy's maximum. Big mistakes can result in damages that greatly exceed such policy limits leaving you, or your company, potentially liable for the difference.
Your trade association, business group, or union may be able to provide you with information about coverage available in your line of work. In fact, such groups often negotiate with insurance carriers to provide their members with protection at reduced rates.
You may also be able to get some background on companies that provide coverage for your industry by searching the Internet. A good start would be to submit a query to Google or Ask Jeeves for the terms "malpractice insurance" or "errors and omissions insurance" + your occupation. For example, try running "errors and omissions insurance" + notary.

Malpractice insurance soars, doctors feel hit
By Steve Friess, special for USA TODAY
LAS VEGAS — Seven years ago, vascular surgeon Eric
Chino removed the severely infected toe of a 65-year-old Michigan man who wintered
in southern Nevada. After the amputation, the toe was sent for a pathology report
that revealed cancer.
Chino says he never saw that report because an assistant
filed it without showing it to him. The man returned to Michigan before a follow-up
visit, where his cancer eventually killed him.
The family sued for medical malpractice. Chino, who had
been practicing since the 1980s without incident, instructed his insurance company
to settle even though he felt this was a clerical, not a clinical, mistake.
They paid $300,000, the only settlement in an otherwise
sterling career involving tens of thousands of patients.
Yet it is because of that claim that Chino, 48, stopped
practicing two months ago. His malpractice insurance rates remained reasonable
for years after the incident, he says, but then the St. Paul Companies pulled
out of the medical malpractice business nationally last year. When Chino went
shopping, no licensed insurer in Nevada would cover him, and quotes from unlicensed
insurers hit $230,000 for 2002. He paid $39,000 last year.
He's not alone. The Nevada State Medical Association predicts
250 doctors may face bankruptcy or will leave this year. That loss is particularly
acute for Nevada, already ranked 47th in the USA for its physician-to-population
ratio. But Nevada is just one example of a national struggle that is seeing
doctors flee medicine or their locales.
St. Paul ended coverage for 42,000 doctors nationwide,
citing nearly $1 billion in losses, attributed primarily to high jury awards
and settlements in malpractice lawsuits. Now those doctors are shopping for
other insurance, but other companies are refusing to write policies for obstetricians,
general surgeons and emergency room doctors in states with no or ineffective
limits to jury awards. As a result:
Hundreds of medical professionals gathered in Edinburg, Texas, Monday to
protest lawsuit abuse they blame for skyrocketing malpractice premiums. The
doctors, many of whom closed their offices Monday for the rally, are angry
about the region's litigious climate and record of large jury awards.
The maternity ward of tiny Bisbee, Ariz., has closed. Expecting mothers
must drive more than a half hour to the nearest town to deliver.
All neurosurgeons in Wheeling, W.Va., have stopped practicing, and 14 of
16 neurosurgeons practicing in Broward County, Fla., are uninsured, the American
Medical Association says.
The trauma center at Abington Memorial Hospital in suburban Philadelphia
is teetering on the brink of closure because doctors have had trouble finding
affordable insurance.
"There are factors operating, particularly in Nevada, which
make it a prime example of the problems physicians, hospitals, malpractice insurers
and patients are facing nationwide," says Carol Golin, editor of the Medical
Liability Monitor , which surveys underwriters.
Physicians' groups and insurers point to the lack of tort
reform, meaning a cap on jury awards for pain and suffering in malpractice lawsuits.
In the past two years alone, Nevada juries have awarded more than $1.5 million
each in six different medical malpractice trials. The number of lawsuits also
is hitting record highs. Most are settled out of court for undisclosed sums.
The environment in Nevada has insurers scared of backing
anyone with a record or physicians in specialties that are frequent lawsuit
targets. One obstetrician, Cheryl Edwards, left 30 pregnant patients behind
and relocated last year to California, where a state law caps jury awards at
$250,000. Her insurance premium is $17,000 a year there; it would have been
$150,000 a year in Nevada, she says.
Another obstetrician, Guy Torres, said he'll probably stop
delivering babies this fall when his insurance policy runs out. He faces a premium
of more than $200,000, which is only slightly less than he'd make in a year
for delivering 15 babies a month.
Las Vegas physicians have received two short-term solutions
in recent weeks. The county commission voted to hire doctors who do shifts in
the emergency room of its medical center as part-time county employees until
the end of May rather than see the only trauma center for 10,000 square miles
cut back on its days and hours. As county employees, they can't be sued for
more than $50,000.
And recently, Gov. Kenny Guinn announced the state would
set up a state insurance association to cover doctors who cannot get insurance
from the licensed market. Yet while Guinn's measure will resolve the availability
of insurance, it won't solve the price problem. Rates are bound to skyrocket.
Indeed, many insist tort reform by the legislature, not
due to meet until next year, is the only solution. But neither Guinn nor legislative
leaders are publicly pushing for jury award caps.
Meanwhile, the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association is irate
at being scapegoated for the malpractice insurance crisis, laying the blame
instead on St. Paul for undercharging for years to snuff out competition.
"They created the problem, they exacerbated the problem
by writing policies for bad doctors, and then, when the consequences of their
actions became known, they leave the market and the physicians holding the bag,"
says Bill Bradley, a lawyer who insists there's no correlation between jury
awards and malpractice insurance rates. "To place the blame on the civil justice
system is not fair or accurate. This is not a war between lawyers and physicians."
Tell that to AMA President Richard Corlin, who warns that
his group is amassing a fund "of epic proportions" to go into political battle
against the well-funded trial-lawyer lobbies on local and national tort-reform
efforts.
St. Paul, for its part, disputes Bradley's contention,
pointing to its profits in Wisconsin, where some tort reforms exist. In Nevada,
St. Paul paid out $1.88 for every $1 premium it took in last year.
"Our experience from states where they have some limits
on damages is that their losses are lower and the rates don't have to go up
as high," spokeswoman Andrea Wood says. "Yes, we did have a large part of the
market, but if this was a profitable business to be in, there would be other
companies jumping in and taking over. Other companies have taken over for us
in other states."
Many in Nevada fear the long-term consequences of the crisis,
noting the exploding population needs doctors to come from other states because
the state's medical school produces just 50 physicians a year.
"Before, we'd say, 'Las Vegas is one of the most rapidly
growing areas in the country, the future looks good and if you want to start
and grow your practice, you can do that here,' " says John Ameriks, general
vascular surgeon and senior partner in practice with Chino. "Now doctors will
say, 'Look, I'm highly trained, I've got job offers all over the country, why
the hell should I come to Las Vegas?' "

NASW Trust: Types of Insurance: Social Work Malpractice Insurance: Social Work Professional Liability Insurance

Social Workers Professional Liability Application

Social Workers Professional Liability Application for NEW
YORK Applicants
The NASW Insurance Trust plan offers to eligible National Association of Social Workers ( NASW ) members:
a plan with a solid track record for PLI for social workers.
More than 30 years ago, we opened our doors to extend the first social work professional liability coverage for social workers. Over the years, we grew in size and strength, while other plans suffered huge losses, or completely dropped out of the business, leaving their policyholders with no coverage. We are now the standard against which all other social work PLI programs are measured.
a plan with an underwriter rated A++ by the A. M. Best Company.
The A. M. Best Company, which rates the comparative financial stability of insurance companies, has given the American International Group, the underwriter of this plan, a rating of "A++" for excellence.
a plan with rates and terms that make sense for social workers.
The NASW Insurance Trust plan offers you the lowest rates available for a range of coverage options. You can receive a full year of coverage for less than the typical cost for a one-hour consultation with an attorney. More than 60,000 NASW members have put their faith in the Trust.
Our plan provides protection for most "wrongful acts" in social work malpractice, such as:
Treatment without proper consent
Incorrect treatment /improper diagnosis
Failure to consult with or refer a client to a specialist
Failure to prevent a client's suicide
Causing a client's suicide
Failure to protect third parties from harm
Inappropriate release/detainment of a client in a hospital, confinement
Sexual involvement with clients or other sexual misconduct (subject to reduced limits)
Breach of confidentiality
Defamation
False imprisonment
Failure to provide adequate care for clients in residential settings
Failure to be available when needed
Termination of treatment
Improper child placement
The Trust plan offers low premiums, with a choice of coverage options ranging up to $2 million maximum per claim/$4 million aggregate for the policy year. Coverage is available for individuals, partnerships and corporations under this policy, and includes:
Professional legal counsel
$250/day up to $5,000 for expenses related to attendance in court or at depositions
Payments for settlements and judgments
Defense fees (defense payments do not reduce amounts available for the payment of settlements and judgments)
$5,000 reimbursement for legal defense costs for licensing board hearings at no extra cost (Higher limits available for an additional premium)
Instant, toll-free access to insurance administrators
Free premises liability coverage
No deductible
Consideration of an Extended Reporting Period (or "Tail") option is vitally important for people who are covered by "claims-made" insurance. This type of insurance is the industry norm for social workers, so you should know how the "tail" option works and what it can do for you. Once your policy is terminated, "claims-made" insurance coverage ceases completely.
This means that any social work malpractice suit that is reported after your insurance policy expires will not be covered unless you elect the recommended "tail" option coverage . You can obtain a "tail" option for this type of insurance that will extend coverage beyond the end of your policy .
With "tail" coverage, you can report a new claim for any incident that occurred while your social work professional liability insurance was in effect—even after your insurance is terminated. This is extremely important, since years can elapse between the time of an incident and the time that a claim is actually made.
This plan offers you a guaranteed option to obtain an unlimited Extended Reporting Period for 90 days after you terminate your professional liability insurance. Most insurance companies only allow a limited "tail" option extending coverage for two to five years. But the NASW Insurance Trust provides you with an unlimited “tail”.
Free Unlimited Tail Coverage upon retirement, permanent disability or death, —or— Unlimited Tail Coverage for a one-time cost equal to your last year's premium, if your policy is terminated for other reasons.
Exclusive Hold Harmless Protection —Extends
protection free for professional social
work liability assumed under a contract, such as one with a managed
care firm.
