Physicians, Surgeons, And Dentists Insurance

Definition of "Physicians, surgeons, and dentists insurance"

Coverage for a practicing physician, surgeon, or dentist, when bodily injury, personal injury, and/or property damage is incurred by a patient and the patient sues for injuries and/or damages. The cost of defending the physician, surgeon, or dentist is in addition to the upper limits of the policy, and includes legal fees, court costs, and other general expenses. There is a crisis in this type of coverage, in that fewer companies are writing these policies.
