Physician Founded in 1899
As a group of physicians looking to protect their reputation and assets over a century ago, our founders could never have imagined the path that professional medical liability has taken. They thought the medical arena was volatile then…dozens of carriers had made promises to healthcare providers, promises that weren’t kept when they exited the market. Now look at what’s happening today, insurers are starting to dabble in medical malpractice again because they think it’s profitable. Many states are experiencing an influx of new insurance carriers that are entering the medmal market to take advantage of a softened marketplace.
But we know the medical malpractice industry is not for the timid. It’s a cyclical business, with extreme highs and lows. The medmal graveyard is full of companies who didn’t heed the history and cyclical nature of the business and often left healthcare providers high and dry without any coverage. We’re proud to be the only professional medical liability carrier to have survived and continued to protect with the utmost of care our insureds through all the medmal crises.
Since the beginning of medical malpractice insurance, we have been a constant, reliable source for the physicians like you who rely on us for their protection. Now, with the backing of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, you can count on us to be able to safeguard you from your first day through your retirement.
