"Insurance is something you hope you never have to call upon, but are
certainly thankful for if the need arises. Recently I had to call upon
the JUA/PCF when I was sued for negligence in the care I rendered a
patient who was also a beloved colleague. As if the loss of a friend was
not difficult enough, being sued for malpractice in his care was
extremely painful. Fortunately the JUA/PCF was there to provide support
through the entire process. From the stellar attorneys they provided to
the frequent updates and communication and daily courtroom presence, I
was able to get through the process with confidence that the JUA/PCF's
number one goal is to protect and support the physicians they cover. I
can’t imagine going through this process without such a supportive
network of professionals. Although my faith in our legal system may have
been shaken, I now have the highest regard and greatest appreciation for
the JUA/PCF and the service they provide."
