Why do Connecticut home health care providers need insurance?

Home health care providers support elderly, disabled, and chronically ill clients in their homes. This work can involve risks that may lead to costly liability claims or lawsuits.

Common situations that may lead to a claim include:

  • A client slips or falls during a home visit
  • Accidental damage to a client’s property
  • Allegations of professional negligence
  • Misunderstandings about the care or services provided
  • Legal costs associated with defending a liability claim
