The frustrations physicians experience in malpractice are understandable, but the magnitude of your errors, literally concern life and death. Now many professionals don't experience the same professional malpractice that physicians do, but historically large accounting firms were sued in securities cases for egregious errors to a point where the firms ceased doing certain types of work.

Lawyers purchase malpractice and it runs roughly what a family practitioner pays.
