Malpractice Insurance: The Essential Safety Net
Think of malpractice insurance as your financial safety net. It’s there to catch you if things go sideways like a client making a claim against you for negligence. The cost can vary based on where you practice, your specialty, and how much coverage you need. The key is finding a policy that covers your bases without breaking the bank.
Liability Coverage: Covering All the Bases

And don’t forget professional liability insurance, which has your back in case of legal issues related to your work. It’s all about making sure you’re covered from every angle.
