Here is anexamplethat will help you understand in detail the advantage of having legal protection insurance:
Our insured is a pulmonologist at a hospital and heads the pulmonology department. He is bound by a contract with this hospital.
Following disagreements with the hospital regarding the methods it used to treat its patients, our insured noticed that the hospital was diverting his patients to other doctors at the hospital.
He also accuses the hospital of making insulting and defamatory remarks about him.
Our insured therefore took the hospital to court on the basis of contractual liability: breach of the contract between them and extra-contractual liability for defamatory remarks, but also before the National Joint Commission for Doctors and Hospitals for breach of hospital law.
A complaint was also filed with the medical association, as the hospital had violated the provisions of the medical code of ethics.
This case involves contractual and non-contractual liability, as well as disciplinary issues and online reputation (patient diversion).
