Out of all physicians,OB/GYNs probably face the greatest risk of medical malpractice. OB/GYNs are held to a very high standard of care because they are dealing with a woman’s reproductive system, a fetus, or an infant. Any error that leads to permanent physical consequences for both mother and child can be truly devastating. There is a heavy, emotional impact that can affect a woman for the rest of her life.



There are many ways that a lawsuit can be brought against an OB/GYN. One of the most common instances of malpractice is cancer misdiagnosis or failure to diagnosis a disease or infection. Anything related to pap smears, ultrasounds, menopause, or biopsies that causes harm to a patient can be subject to a malpractice lawsuit.

Family Medicine physicians provide a wide range of care for their patients, since they provide primary care for infants through senior citizens.  Their care covers all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body.


Regarding medical malpractice insurance for Family Medicine physicians, the good news is that, generally speaking, Family Medicine is not considered one of the higher-risk specialties.  Thus, the cost of Family Medicine professional liability insurance (also known as medical malpractice insurance) is lower than many specialties.
