Professional + General Liability Package Policy
What’s Included?
Professional Liability
Professional Liability (also known as Errors & Omissions) covers your business against claims of Professional Negligence, or Misrepresentation of Services.
In the event of an employee ignoring a customer or being negligent in their care duties, this type of insurance can help protect you against claims the client or their family may bring against your agency.
General Liability
General Liability (commonly referred to as “Slip & Fall Coverage”) covers two important aspects of your homecare operations.
The two main coverages General Liability provides are Third Party Bodily Injury, and Third Party Property Damage.
The coverage for Third Party Bodily Injury refers to cover in the case a client or their family brings a suit against your business as a result of an injury that occurred while under the care of you, your agency, or your employees.
Coverage for Third Party Property Damage refers to coverage for claims of the client’s property being damaged during care.
(This does not include claims of theft, which typically would require a surety bond or fidelity bond.)
General Liability for 1099s
Unlike most General Liability policies, which exclude coverage for 1099 employees This Professional + General Liability Package Policy Includes Coverage for 1099s.
Because this Package Policy is written as a base Professional Liability Policy with General Liability added at no additional cost, 1099s actually are covered for Professional & General Liability as long as they are performing the same services as the selected classification (such as homecare / companion services)
Bizinsure allows 1099s to be included on the policy automatically.
Keep in mind 1099’s incurred claims will reduce your policy’s limits of liability.
To protect your limits, you can refer your 1099 to Bizinsure, and they can obtain a Package Professional + General Liability Policy as a Home Health Aide, Homecare Aide, or Companion.
Cyber Liability
Cyber Liability Insurance is included in this Package Policy at no additional cost. This essential coverage protects your business from the financial impact of data breaches, hacking incidents, and evolving cybersecurity threats up to the selected sublimit on the policy.
Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) Liability
Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) Coverage is included in this Package Policy at no additional cost. This specialized insurance provides critical protection for your organization against allegations of actual or threatened sexual misconduct, up to the selected sublimit on the policy.
