Cyber

Cyber risk is becoming so complex and has so many different meanings to world business that it is impossible to provide a one size fits all insurance product. This has lead to difficulty in quantifying loss and  for a buyer to understand the cyber product and what is covered.

So we have developed, with Lloyd’s underwriters, a ‘pick you own’ cyber policy concept in which relevant modules are selected according to the buyer’s risk, and which are specifically targeted to cyber exposed business in most industry sectors.

covers a company’s own losses from network interruption or security breach.

While such events are rarely publicised, extortion against corporate assets or products is increasing rapidly on a global scale with a recent emphasis in North America.

Examples include extortion involving: bodily injury, property damage, pollution, cyberspace, and intellectual property. All business ventures need to prepare for these threats that can originate or occur virtually anywhere in the world.

Medical Malpractice

Clinical negligence insurance costs, have over the past decade, steadily risen as the MDU, MPS and MDDUS (the mutual organisations) have been hit with the higher frequency and severity of third party claims.

This has been fuelled by the growth and popularity of litigation entities many of whom work on a contingency fee basis.  As a result, the mutuals have been forced to pass these costs on to all their members, irrespective of their individual track records.

Chesterfield have developed a unique product that is specifically aimed at NHS- based surgeons who undertake work within the Private sector.

The NHS is a unique institution which provides both the training ground and hospital base for Surgeons to qualify, practice and develop their skills within their individual surgical disciplines. As each Consultant has to provide their individual operating statistics, annually, our product recognises and rewards those surgeons whose results illustrate ‘best practice’.

Our policy does not just rely on a completed proposal form but uniquely has a built in “Risk Managed Acceptance” approach. On joining, we request from each applicant one or two working examples of patient notes, starting from consultation to patient discharge. These are then assessed by our risk managers. This group comprise currently certified, GMC registered,  surgeons and GP’s who,  from these notes,  can assess the areas of exposure.  We then address these issues to ensure our client’s future practice methods become more robust from the threat of any possible future litigation.

The claims management team is run by the former head of a Medical Defence Organisation claims department. This expert takes a stance on early intervention, thereby bringing claims to an early conclusion reducing costs and protecting reputations.
