ADVICE

Asset Protection and Risk Management

  • Prioritize risk management by avoiding high-risk activities and maintaining your property.
  • Secure sufficient liability insurance, including umbrella coverage, to protect your assets.
INSIGHT

Malpractice Suit Outcomes

  • Malpractice suits exceeding policy limits are rare due to various factors like high win rates for doctors, settlements, and appeals.
  • Doctors rarely lose personal assets in malpractice suits, and the average loss when it happens is in the low six figures.
ADVICE

Umbrella Insurance Recommendation

  • Obtain umbrella insurance with coverage comparable to your malpractice insurance (seven-figure amount).
  • Auto insurance is crucial due to its high involvement in liability claims; consider raising its limits too.
