Medical Malpractice: Los Angeles Physicians’ Best Option

Over 5,000 physicians in the Los Angeles area are CAP members.

Thinking about medical malpractice? Los Angeles physicians have great options for malpractice protection. But not all of them are right.

It’s a big decision. Your medical malpractice protection provider is one of the most important partnerships you’ll have as a physician.

When you’re evaluating a medical malpractice provider, you have to ask questions like:

  • If you have a claim, will your provider provide the best legal defense possible?
  • Will it help you prevent adverse outcomes before they happen through risk management training and resources for you and your staff?
  • Does it provide an array of supplemental insurance, benefits and resources tailored to the needs of physicians in solo and small group practices?
  • Does its protection have an A+ Superior rating from A.M. Best so you can rely on its financial stability?
  • Does it offer free risk management consulting to help find and fix areas of potential risk in your practice?

Your provider should have risk management consultants who inspect your practice, help you assess areas of potential risk, and develop strategies with you for reducing risk.

Your provider should have an early intervention team that springs into action as soon as an adverse outcome occurs.

For medical malpractice, Los Angeles physicians like you should have the absolute best protection possible.

In other words, your answer to every question we’ve asked should be “Yes!”

That’s why you should consider the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP).
