Home health care workers and other health professionals typically look at various kinds of insurance for their small business to safeguard them while they perform their duties.  

General Liability insurance  

General Liability insurance helps protect small businesses against customer claims of injury and property damage. Your policy covers legal expenses and the cost of fixing the situation (up to the policy limits). These protections apply to claims that do and don’t have merit. General Liability insurance is also known as Commercial General Liability (CGL) or “slip and fall” coverage. 

What are the most common subjects covered?  

General Liability insurance protects against the cost of lawsuits and claims as a the result of:  

  • Third-party bodily injury  
  • Third-party property damage 

A claim doesn’t have to be factual for your General Liability policy to protect you. General Liability policies offer Home Health Agencies and Aides more security when they care for their patients.  

What is not included?  

The following situations are not covered under the General Liability insurance policy  

  • Compensation claims for workers and personal workplace injuries  
  • Your property that is damaged  
  • Intentional damage to property of third parties  
  • Mistakes or errors in your work  

You may not be covered for certain situations. You will find the complete coverage details in your policy documents.  

Professional Liability Insurance

Professional Liability insurance protects you against any mistakes or omissions of your work that could result in financial losses for your customer. It protects you from claims of professional negligence by third parties. Both meritless and true claims are protected by a contract. Professional Liability insurance can also be called Errors and Obmissions (E&O) insurance.  

What is covered the most frequently?    

Professional Liability insurance pays for legal expenses that may result from:  

  • Errors, mistakes or omissions in your professional services or advice 
  • Allegations of negligence 
  • Undelivered services or missed deadlines 
  • Breaches of contract 

These types of liability claims are usually brought by clients who assert that your work caused them financial loss. Even if the claim against you is baseless, Professional Liability insurance policies are designed to provide coverage.  

What isn’t typically included?

The types of events that aren’t included in Professional Liability insurance include:  

  • Third-party bodily injury 
  • Damage to a third party’s property 
  • Personal workplace injuries or workers’ comp claims

I have been shopping for business liability insurance for several months. I am happy to share that BizInsure ranked #1! The representatives were polite, patient, and empathetic. They accomplished what most companies struggle with achieving: they did what they said they were going to do, they were on time, and they had empathy. They delivered a policy for 25% less than the closest competetor, and even included $50k of cyber security at no additional cost! I only write reviews when I receive exceptional experiences- highly revommended; keep up the great service BizInsure!P.S. I own a professional referral service in Hawai'i and I am going to see if BizInsure offers an affiliate program.Aloha!

I had numerous conversations with several business insurance agents over a month's time. I also had several conversations confirming the policy inclusion/exclusions and asked many questions. My BizInsure agent was professional, knowledgeable and most important—detail oriented. Even after having an initial conversation a month earlier he knew and *remembered* all my personal/professional insurance needs. When I asked for additional information on the third call he was able to provide me with details very quickly. He was also VERY patient. That is a big plus in my opinion. It illustrated a high level of respect for my needs. I also found when I called back and asked to talk with the initial agent, the person who answered the call was able to get in contact quickly and my agent responded and returned the call within 5-10 minutes. The transaction was smooth, and I think it's a good sign should I ever need to make a claim. I highly recommend BizInsure.

The customer service provided by Jose was outstanding. He explained everything in a very clear/logical way and answered all of my questions. After providing all the information to obtain general liability insurance, Jose sent me the declaration page of the insurance for review. All of the information matched what I provided over the phone and there were no typos. The next day I called back to purchase the insurance which was easy and fast. Overall, my experience with BizInsure including the customer service by Jose exceeded my expectations.
