"I found Spiris on the Internet. I was in a rush because I had a gig coming up where my client wanted ‘an additionally insured’ document from my insurance company. I had just found out my former company did not cover students. Spiris was the quickest to respond, had the coverage I was looking for, and for a heck of a lot cheaper than I was paying."

"We got a cold call. We set up an appointment with Dave Hutchison and were expecting a phone call, when he showed up in our office. We felt that really showed he was interested in us. He knew the healthcare industry, and the rates were much more affordable than what we had been paying."
Physicians, Clinics
Question: If a health-care practitioner makes a mistake, they should:
- Remain completely silent, have no further contact with the patient/family, and call the lawyers
- Look the patient/family in the eye, apologize, and take responsibility for the mistake
We’re not going to tell you whether A or B is correct, but we will tell you that recent studies show that health-care providers can substantially cut malpractice costs through the simple act of apologizing, as patients or their families are less likely to file a claim against a health-care provider who shows contrition. In our litigious society, such a proactive approach might be counter-intuitive, but the approach can also allow the health-care provider to take stock of what went wrong and consider ways to prevent similar mishaps going forward. This approach to handling a potential malpractice claim is just one example of our philosophy of evaluating risk management strategies to find the most effective solutions that can help mitigate risk.
