When to Apply for Clinical Negligence ATE Insurance
Please ensure that you apply for insurance cover as soon as practicable once you have concluded your risk assessment procedures. It is always more difficult to obtain an offer of cover in a post issue situation and if the application is submitted in close proximity to Trial it may be impossible to obtain an offer of cover. Premiums are often rebated or staged so as to encourage early settlement by the Defendant or their insurers thus making recovery of the premium far easier. If in any doubt please call us to discuss the matter in more detail.
