Other insurance types for nurses in Louisiana
Professional Liability insurance helps protect nurses from financial losses related to claims of malpractice, negligence, or errors in patient care. This includes legal defense fees and compensation you may be required to pay.
Coverage can help protect against:
- Negligence or improper treatment – such as failure to disclose medication side effects or miscommunication with patients
- Misrepresentation – giving inaccurate or misleading information that causes patient harm
- Incorrect advice – errors in medical advice or procedures that lead to a lawsuit
General Liability insurance protects against third-party claims involving bodily injury or property damage. It’s often a standard requirement in commercial lease agreements.
This policy may cover:
- Patient injuries sustained on your premises
- Property damage caused during treatment or care
A BOP combines several business insurance policies, such as General Liability insurance, Equipment Breakdown insurance and more, into one cost-effective and easy-to-manage package. This bundled package makes insurance easier to manage and more affordable for small healthcare providers.
In Louisiana, all businesses with employees—healthcare practices included—are required to have Workers’ Compensation insurance. This policy covers:

If you’re self-employed, this coverage is optional but can provide added peace of mind and financial protection.
