EDGE Services Put Physicians in Control
|
When you evaluate your professional liability insurance options, do you feel as if you are standing over the abyss?
 When the sheriff drops off your first lawsuit, do you have a sense of helplessness?
When your insurance carrier determines that your case should be settled, do your anxiety levels rise?
When an insurer turns you down for coverage or increases your premium threefold, does your blood pressure reach a dangerous level?

Our Unique Insight Gives You the EDGE
|
The professional liability insurance playing field is not level. Plaintiffs' attorneys aggressively represent their clients in claims against doctors. Insurance companies fear real tort reform and advocate for the status quo, so they can continue to charge and collect high premiums. Insurance company-assigned defense counsel that represent the carrier's policyholder defendants take direction from the insurance companies that pay their bills.
That places physicians at a distinct disadvantage with no one to truly look out for them. EDGE Professional Liability Services was founded with a mission to level the medical malpractice playing field, perhaps even giving doctors an advantage when it comes to understanding their rights and options.
