The most responsible, skilled and experienced Allied Health professional can innocently become involved in malpractice claims. Consider this real-life claim made against an OR Nurse:
A registered nurse works as an independent contractor at a medical center as a circulating nurse in the OR. The patient had an abdominal colectomy and temporary ileostomy. The RN was in charge of the sponge count. She told the surgeon and the operating team that all sponges were accounted for.
During a second surgical procedure to reverse the temporary ileostomy, the surgeon found a sponge from the first surgery. Due to risk of infection, the surgery was terminated, necessitating a third surgery, during which the plaintiff suffered complications.
The patient sued the medical center for damages caused by the missed sponge. In turn, the medical center sued the RN since an accurate sponge count was her responsibility.
If you are employed and your employer provides professional liability insurance, the questions you need to ask yourself are:
You can’t rely alone on the liability protection provided by your employer. In fact, your association recommends that you purchase your own professional liability coverage even if you have limited coverage through your employer. Without your own professional liability protection, you could end up paying all attorney fees, court costs and loss of wages out of your own pocket.
To help make it easier for you to obtain individual coverage, your association sponsors a Professional Liability Insurance Plan designed just for members. Because your association understands your needs, you can be sure that this plan will give you the protection you need. Plus, applying for your association sponsored Professional Liability Insurance Plan is convenient! Visit proliability.com to get a no-obligation, instant quote and apply for binding coverage.
