Getting Through the Case
We understand that being named in a lawsuit or a claim letter can feel like a personal attack. Many of our insureds feel shame or embarrassment upon learning of the matter. Unfortunately, it is common for medical providers in our country to be named as defendants in lawsuits. To be sure, many of your colleagues have gone through very similar experiences. CRICO assigns a claims representative, such as myself, to each claim or lawsuit. A defense attorney is also appointed by CRICO to represent you.
Your CRICO claim representative and your attorney are there with you for every step of this process, providing you with support and answering your questions. It is incredibly important to CRICO that you feel supported during the process. As a CRICO insured, you will also be connected to resources for testimonial and emotional support. These services are confidential and CRICO covers the costs.
We have found that when you understand the process of a claim or a lawsuit—how your attorney and claim representative will support you, and what to expect at each stage— you will be feel more empowered to defend yourself.

A malpractice suit can be draining and you still have to worry about your current patients’ care. How do you manage the stress?
