Professional Liability protects the dentist and the practice from lawsuits alleging malpractice or negligence in the dentist's professional services or care of a patient. It doesn't matter if a lawsuit has merit. Typically, the legal and defense costs are the most significant portion of a total claim and these claims can drag on for years before being dismissed or settled. Because of these skyrocketing jury verdicts and defense costs, many insurance carriers have discontinued offering Professional Liability / Malpractice coverage. Those few carriers willing to do so have been dramatically increasing their premiums and reducing the coverage offered. Brown & Brown is one of the few brokers or agents with access to multiple high-quality Professional Liability / Malpractice products custom tailored to meet the needs of dentists. We help you select those carriers offering the best coverage and at the most competitive premiums.
