If professional indemnity insurance for the medical profession is a form of commercial insurance, then it is (religiously forbidden) due to the elements of gambling and (excessive uncertainty) it contains. If you are forced to participate in this forbidden insurance in order to work, then there is no sin upon you, and you may benefit from it to the extent of what you have paid.
