Home health aides and other healthcare professionals often consider many types of business insurance to protect them as they work.

General Liability Insurance

General Liability insurance protects businesses against third-party claims of injury and property damage. Your policy covers legal expenses and the cost to fix the situation (up to the policy limits). These protections apply to claims that do have merit and those that do not. General Liability insurance is also sold as Commercial General Liability (CGL) or “slip and fall” coverage.

What is typically covered?

General Liability insurance provides coverage for claims and lawsuits caused by:

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

 

A claim does not need to be true for your General Liability policy to protect you. It also covers third-party claims that are without merit. Baseless claims can be expensive to resolve.

  • Personal workplace injuries and workers’ comp claims
  • Damage to your own property
  • Intentional damage to a third party’s property
  • Errors or mistakes in your work

 

There may be other events that are not covered by your General Liability insurance that are not listed here. Your policy documents will provide complete details on what coverage is and is not included.

Professional Liability Insurance

Professional Liability insurance covers mistakes or omissions in your work that cause your client to lose money. It also protects you against third-party claims of professional negligence. A policy will provide coverage for both true and meritless claims. Professional Liability insurance is also sold as Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance.

What is typically covered?

Professional Liability insurance covers legal expenses, including settlements and judgements, that can 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 has caused them a financial loss. Professional Liability insurance policies provide coverage even if a claim brought against you is baseless

What is not typically covered?

  • 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.
