Medical Professional Liability (MPL), commonly known as physicians’ medical malpractice, is a specialized form of professional liability designed to protect healthcare professionals and medical organizations against claims arising from patient injuries or damages resulting from medical errors, negligence, or mistakes in diagnosis and treatment. In Western countries, this type of insurance policy is often carried by physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and hospitals to protect against certain liability claims and damages.
