Did a quote again, $4400-$6800 is what it came up as for 1:3m PCP P1 or P3 (corrections for me) as below Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that 6 mil a bit much? I thought the aggregate resets every year of the policy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator ventana 3,351 Posted January 16 Moderator Share Posted January 16 correct, but the 1m/3m is only a few hundred dollars cheaper 1m/3m is the industry standard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was gonna say if you think you're getting sued 6 times this year, you might want to hit the books a little harder in your spare time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We use to call it getting the short straw in UC. Frequently you do everything right or at least acceptable and still get named. It sucks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GetMeOuttaThisMess 1,594 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 That’s why in a tort reform state with caps on damages, I went with a $200/$600K policy, primarily just to cover legal expenses. They can’t get my retirement or home so why bother? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can’t get my retirement or home so why bother? One of the few real blessings of TX to be honest. The homestead act there is rock solid. Sadly though you are paying for it in property taxes out the nose if you have even a moderately pricey house. My property taxes north of Ft. Worth were upwards of 10k last year and my house was only valued at $400k. I have to making $13k just to pay property taxes. In a word...unsustainable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can’t get my retirement or home so why bother? this is a a very wise decision If you assets are protected with state law, this saves $, and gives you your own defense attorney (so hopefully the doc or the institution will not simply "through the PA under the bus" and sign off a s crappy settlement that blames you.) I choose the higher 1m/3m as in my state it is the standard and required to credential with insurance companies. Since I amd on the Doc's claims made policy as a rider I wanted full equal coverage so there would never be a problem. But GetMEOuttaThisMess has an excellent point.

sas5814 3,029 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Unless the laws have changed in Texas a PA isn't permitted to have a higher malpractice term than his/her SP. It is just another reason we need to get out from under the thumb of organized medicine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
