CRICO’s mission is to provide superior medical liability insurance to its members and to assist them in delivering the safest health care in the world. To achieve this mission, CRICO is committed to defending good medical practice, offering compensation for substandard medical care, and contesting at trial nonmeritorious cases in which no medical fault is apparent.
CRICO applies this strategy to serve 12,000 physicians and 15,000 mid-level providers at 22 hospitals, including Harvard flagship hospitals, such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and more than 200 health care organizations.
