Frequently asked questions

We’re here to help answer your questions

Welcome to our Liability Insurance FAQ section, where we address common queries to help you navigate the complexities of liability coverage with ease. From understanding policy limits to clarifying claim processes, find concise answers to ensure you’re well-informed and protected.

Is Professional Liability required for physicians in Florida?

The State Minimum coverage is $250,000 per person and $750,000 aggregate for physicians who go to Hospitals, otherwise it’s $100,000 per person and $300,000 aggregate. You may obtain a letter of credit from a bank to meet this obligation but will be obligated to pay any potential claims yourself and all of your defense costs.

How much is tail coverage and what is it?

Once you stop paying premiums into a claims-made policy in order to have continuing coverage you need to have tail coverage. The Trust either fully pre-funds your tail coverage or pre-funds it over a number of years for our base 250/750 coverage. This is unique and a big advantage since our tail rates are lower than others and you don’t end up with an unexpected bill of 1.5 to 2 times your annual premium.

Should I protect my assets even though I obtain professional liability coverage?

Yes, even if you have our $1 Million coverage, you should set up an asset protection plan with an attorney specializing in this area to protect you in the event of a runaway jury verdict.
