In 2012, with the introduction of legislation that required all professionals to have professional liability (RC) insurance, there was a significant change in the sector. This reform was widely welcomed as an important step forward by both the professionals themselves and their clients or patients, offering them greater protection.
However, over the years, various significant cases have tested the system, including the insurance and legislative sectors, with particular reference to the rules relating to Professional Liability. This has led to an increase in civil lawsuits and more complex bureaucratic processes. As a result, legislation has begun to intervene on this relatively recent law with new regulations and reforms to clarify and more effectively regulate the industry rules.

2012 Legislation
From 2013, the conclusion of this policy becomes mandatory for all categories, including doctors.
Art. 5 D.P.R. 137/2012 – Insurance Obligation
- 1. The professional is required to take out, also through collective agreements negotiated by national councils and professional welfare institutions, suitable insurance for damages to the client resulting from the exercise of the professional activity, including the custody of documents and values received from the client. The professional must make known to the client, at the time of taking on the assignment, the details of the professional policy, the related cap, and any subsequent changes.
- 2.Violation of the provision of paragraph 1 constitutes a disciplinary offense.
- 3. In order to facilitate the negotiation of the collective agreements referred to in paragraph 1, the insurance obligation of this article takes effect twelve months after the entry into force of this decree.
The remuneration of the surety is paid in the form of a “premium” in money. Although it is an additional cost for the freelance professional, the government has enacted this law to facilitate the smooth conduct of the profession, protecting both the client and the professional.
In fact, the professional liability insurance policy represents the definitive link between the client and the professional, free to practice their profession, aware of the financial coverage contracted.
