The Doctors Company was founded in 1976 in the face of an epidemic of medical malpractice lawsuits. We were relentless in defending doctors then. We are, if anything, even more relentless today. More than 80 percent of claims against our member-physicians are resolved without indemnity payments. Of the cases that go to trial, 87 percent are decided in favor of the defense. But the difference between The Doctors Company and other insurers goes deeper than statistics.
Our claims expertise makes The Doctors Company difference most evident. Our experts handle only a 10th of the caseload of their counterparts at commercial carriers, and their sensitivity to the pressures and intricacies of malpractice claims is renowned. In the event a claim is leveled against you, you can count on us from initial notice to final resolution.
We understand what a malpractice claim means to a doctor, how deeply it affects them, not just professionally, but personally as well. As a member, it is essential that you notify your Regional Claims Office immediately if an incident occurs that may lead to a claim or if a claim has been made against you. We will dedicate a claims professional to your case and make sure that we are available, responsive, and ready to marshal every resource necessary to resolve it.
