Protecting Your Career As A Speech Pathologist With Professional Malpractice Liability Insurance As a speech pathologist, you’re probably the kind of person who thrives on helping others. The thought of being sued has probably never crossed your mind. But even if you’re the best speech pathologist in your organization, you’re not protected from a lawsuit. Today, lawsuits are brought for even the most innocent or accidental reasons–the spilling of a cup of coffee, the marketing of a fatty snack.
Professional malpractice liability insurance can protect you from these kinds of lawsuits. Even if you’re innocent of the charges, you can end up paying thousands of dollars in lawyers’ fees just to prove that innocence. When the case is found in your favor, your lawyers still have to get paid. If you are using their own funds to pay lawyers, you could end up running out of money far before your case is settled, leaving you without a proper defense. While you may be tempted to argue that your innocence will speak for itself, not preparing adequately for your defense in such a case can bring disastrous outcomes. The parties suing you in such a situation generally stands to gain financially from a decision in their favor. For this reason, they will invest in the best lawyers, who will try to make you look incompetent and negligent just for doing your job.
With professional malpractice liability insurance, you don’t have to pay for defense lawyers out of pocket. Instead, the insurance companies provide those fees, allowing you to hire the best attorney for your situation, not the budget lawyer! In addition, many professional malpractice liability packages offer you compensation should you have to defend yourself to a professional board.
If you love doing what you do, you need to have professional malpractice liability insurance, or you could end up out of a job and in debt for no mistake of your own. Protecting yourself against the lawsuits that might occur is an important part of being a professional speech pathologist, it’s about protecting something that is invaluable to your patients–you
