Is medical malpractice insurance required in Idaho?
Mandatory Medical Malpractice Insurance?No, No state mandates that a Doctor carry malpractice insurance nor any kind of insurance at all related to their profession. Recent polls as of 2009 indicate that as much as 60 percent of private practitioners no longer purchase Medical Malpractice Coverage due to the high cost. Other AnswersI do believe that medical malpractice is required in every state for doctors, but you should check with the governing body of your state to verify. Even if it is not required, it is highly recommended due to the enormous liability you face when providing this type of service.

Is legal malpractice insurance required in Michigan?
It is not "required", however, one will be personally liable without an insurer/insurance company covering the costs associated with losses and malpractice actions. The State Bar of Michigan asks each lawyer whether or not s/he has malpractice insurance annually at the time of renewing membership. Michigan has a mandatory bar association. I believe there is a state fund available for malpractice issues. Hope this helps, MI Attorney
