Premises / Personal Injury

Premises/Personal Injury Liability is an “Occurrence” Insurance agreement and provides the Insured coverage for claims against the Insured because of bodily injury, property damage, and/or personal injury caused by an occurrence and arising out of the ownership, maintenance or use as a medical office or clinic of the insured premises and all operations necessary or incidental thereto.

Personal Injury: any one or more of the following offenses if directly incident to professional services: False arrest, detention or imprisonment; Malicious prosecution; Wrongful entry or eviction or other invasion of the right of private occupancy; Libel or slander. Property Damage: injury to or destruction of tangible property, including loss of use of that property.

Contractual / Vicarious Liability

Contractual Liability is an “Occurrence” insuring agreement and provides the Insured coverage for liability assumed under a written contract or agreement that the Insured otherwise would not have.

Vicarious Liability provides professional liability coverage to an Insured for the professional acts and services rendered on the Insured’s behalf by another physician.

Additional Insured / Interest

Additional Insured/Additional Interest liability is an “Occurrence” insuring agreement. Additional Insured coverage provides non-physician employees with separate individual policy limits of liability. Additional Interest coverage provides non-physician employees or other entities coverage under the physician’s policy limits of liability; therefore, the limits are shared.

Reporting Endorsement for Tail Coverage

Tail Coverage provides the Insured with an unending period of time in which he/she can report claims arising out of the performance of professional services rendered or which should have been rendered subsequent to the Retroactive Date and prior to the termination date of the Claims Made policy.

Prior Acts

We now offer prior acts coverage to eligible specialties and within specific underwriting guidelines. Rates are based on the number of prior years being requested.
