No, having your own takaful coverage does not make you a more likely target for a lawsuit. When something happens and a patient is injured, most lawyers will name everyone who was involved in the patients’ care in the lawsuit—whether you have your own coverage or not.

It is highly recommended for you to own individual indemnity coverage because the goverment will not cover the cost of medico legal totally ie. legal representatives. You have to bare the cost your own which may fork quite huge amount of your savings. 

Yes, if you are in a business entity. Otherwise no.
