Can you sue a doctor who does not have malpractice insurance?

Practicing medicine without insurance is most rampant in Florida.  However, doctors are required to prove to the state that they have $100,000 in assets to cover any claim against them or $250,000 for hospital staff privileges.  If your doctor practices without insurance, he should have a sign posted on the wall of his office advising his patients of that fact.  If the hospital is involved in your injury, you may be able to sue the hospital for allowing the doctor to practice at their facility without the required insurance.

Many doctors who don’t carry malpractice insurance may require that patients agree to submit to arbitration in the case of a dispute, rather than going to court.  Some doctors may even request patients to sign an agreement limiting the amount of compensation they can seek in court.  Patients who sue a doctor without insurance may receive little or no compensation.  However, a skilled attorney may be able to go after the doctor’s personal property and assets if the physician has not properly protected them.

If you believe that you have been a victim of medical malpractice and wish to sue your healthcare provider, you should seek advice from an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to obtain their expert opinion.
