What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Medical Professional Liability Insurance Market?
The medical professional liability insurance market is expected to see an escalation in its growth trajectory due to the rising occurrence of medical mishaps. Mistakes in medical procedures, otherwise known as medical errors or adverse events, are unintended injuries or complications arising from care provided in a medical setting. Various elements contribute to this, including human errors, malfunctions in the system, or unpredicted complications. Medical professional insurance offers coverage for inadvertent errors or mishaps that happen while medical treatment is being administered, providing a safety net for both the treating professional and the patient in the event of any mishap. To illustrate, the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), an independent, nonprofit organization based in Colombia, reported in January 2024 that medical mishaps account for 251,000 fatalities annually in the USA, translating to 9.5% of the country's total annual deaths. This rise in medical mishaps is thereby bolstering the growth of the medical professional insurance market.
