Medical Professional Liability Insurance

Medical professional liability insurance (MPLI)—often known as medical malpractice coverage—provides essential financial protection for healthcare professionals when allegations of negligence, errors or omissions arise. It helps safeguard you and your practice from the significant consequences of patient injury or death claims, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional care with confidence.

We certainly do appreciate the strategic partnership with the CWG team! We’ve had many different carriers over the decades for liability and CWG has by far been the best and most professional company we have worked with. I’m not one to give out compliments, but I have been really impressed with how the CWG team operates – CWG really stands head and shoulders above the competition – by far!!

Tom M, CWG Customer

Thank you again for taking the time to come out and connect with my team. The insight offered was truly valuable to both Barry and myself. I just wanted to follow up with you and let you know that we have incorporated your recommendations into our safety plan to make it the new norm on our end. We are going to start a bidding process for the nurse hotline to see which will make the most sense for us. Thank you again.

BEST and most consistent claims reps that we work with! I believe adjusters are lost in the shuffle because it’s hard to quantify their value, but you guys have some of the best adjusters in the business.

Message to Tracy, BMAG Auto PD Claims Representative: I just wanted to thank all of you! This has been the smoothest and easiest instance I have had with any bodyshop/insurance company. I have had a couple of fender bender repairs in my driving history. Most small like this one, but this has been the best coordination I have ever had. THANK YOU!!!
