Claim Philosophy

Claims are the reason you purchase insurance, and TMLT strives to provide you with the best defense for your premium dollars. We routinely close more than 85 percent of our claims with no indemnity payment. We also have a winning record in the courtroom; over the last 10 years, we have won more than 80 percent of our cases.

• Our philosophy is to defend doctors, not pay non-meritorious claims. Only through the aggressive defense of non-meritorious claims can we protect your reputation and keep the number of malpractice suits filed in check.

• TMLT has been defending Texas physicians for more than 28 years, resolving more than 40,000 claims.

• Our claim staff "specialize" in medical malpractice in Texas. Our claim supervisors average more than 19 years of medical malpractice claim experience; claim executive staff averages 25 years of experience.

• Because they attend policyholder trials, our claim supervisors have first-hand jury experience in medical liability cases. Claim staff also attend post-verdict jury interviews to learn why our cases are won or lost.

• Once a claim is reported to TMLT, we initiate a thorough and complete investigation. Early evaluation helps us develop an effective defense strategy.

• TMLT claims are reviewed by physicians with expertise in the medical specialty at issue. Our consultant team is made up of distinguished, experienced physicians from more than 30 specialties.

• TMLT selects only the most qualified defense attorneys for policyholder defense.

• In the event of a claim, the TMLT team will work closely with you to develop a defense strategy and to keep you informed of developments in your case. We will also help you decide key issues such as whether to settle a case or pursue a trial. As a policy, we will not settle a case without policyholder consent.

• Should a lawsuit reach the courtroom, TMLT staff attend each trial offering feedback and support.
