Protection for Psychologists in
Research & Academic Settings
Every time you provide professional advice, you risk allegations of malpractice,
error, or professional negligence. A disputed grade, a denied promotion or
negative tenure decision, conflicts on authorship or use of research data are
but a few of the risks that are faced by psychologists in academic settings.
Relying on institutional coverage may not properly protect your interests.
For Psychologists, by Psychologists
The Trust Sponsored Professional Liability Insurance Program comes with a professional review board
of your peers ... to ensure things like policy improvements, rate guarantees,
and plan enhancements are done fairly and in your best interests. And if you
should ever need assistance with a coverage dispute, the Trust is available to
serve as your ombudsperson.

This program is designed specifically to protect psychologists in research and
academic settings, offering attractively priced Claims-Made coverage. Coverage
levels begin at $100,000/$300,000 and go up to $1 million each claim/$3 million
each year. Designed to provide maximum coverage flexibility, this type of
protection allows you to purchase higher coverage amounts in subsequent policy
years to keep up with the rising claims costs. Plus, you can choose
between plans to meet your needs.
