What Malpractice Insurance means in a Turkish medical case
The review identifies the insured person, policy period, alleged act, notification requirements, exclusions and whether another facility or insurer is involved.
The existence of insurance does not prove negligence or guarantee full payment. Policy limits, defence arrangements and coverage disputes may affect recovery.

Questions patients often ask
Does a doctor's policy guarantee payment of my claim?
No. Liability and policy coverage are separate. Insured status, policy period, exclusions, limits and notification requirements require examination. A court award also needs to be distinguished from collection.
