Medical Malpractice & Legal Expenses Defence & Pursuit Cover

Medical Malpractice & Legal Expenses Defence & Pursuit Cover

While ACC protects medical practices from claims against injuries to patients from medical treatment, it is not a silver bullet for all the liability exposures you face today.

Overview

This cover is designed to protect medical practices and healthcare professionals from legal proceedings and professional disciplinary proceedings that arise from a breach of professional duty. It also covers exemplary damages and the damages to privacy breaches from the Privacy Act.

Our Legal Pursuit and Defence Expenses policy means coverage goes beyond the legal liability cover under traditional Medical Malpractice policies.
