Real-World Protection: Dr. Evans’ Story
After a routine dental cleaning went tragically wrong, the owner sued for $35,000 and reported Dr. Evans to the board.
Thanks to her malpractice insurance, she had full legal support, kept her license, and protected her reputation — without financial fallout.
“It was the worst day of my career. But having coverage gave me the backup I needed to move forward.”
— Dr. Evans
