West Virginia Home Healthcare Business Insurance

Home health aides and other health professionals typically consider many kinds of insurance to safeguard them while they work.

General Liability Insurance

Your General Liability insurance policy can protect you against any claim by an outside party regarding injury or damage to their property. In these instances, your policy will cover your legal expenses as well as your cost to replace or remedy the situation up to the limits of liability.

This protection is available for both claims that have merit and those without merit. General Liability insurance can also be offered as Commercial General Liability (CGL) or “slip and fall” insurance.

What is usually covered?

General Liability insurance covers lawsuits and claims that are a result of:

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

 

General Liability policies also cover third-party claims that have no merit. Baseless claims can prove expensive to settle. A General Liability policy provides home health aides and other agencies more security while caring for patients by safeguarding their financial assets.

What is usually not included?

These events will likely not be covered by your General Liability insurance policy:

  • Personal workplace accidents and workers’ comp claims
  • Personal or business property damage
  • Intentional damage to a third-party’s property
  • Mistakes and errors in your work

 

A General Liability policy may not be able to cover certain situations. Complete details regarding your coverage will be included in your policy documents.

Professional Liability Insurance

Professional Liability insurance protects your business against claims of negligence, misrepresentations, or mistakes. Professional Liability claims are typically made by clients who allege some form of financial damage as a result of your services, products or employees. It also covers you against third-party claims arising from professional negligence.

Both meritless and true claims will be protected by these policies. Professional Liability insurance is also offered as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance.

What is usually covered?

Professional Liability insurance covers legal expenses that may result from:

  • Professional services and advice that contain errors, mistakes, or omissions
  • Negligence claims
  • Services not delivered or deadlines missed
  • Contracts that are breached

 

Clients often bring these types of claims against you claiming that your work has resulted in financial loss. Professional Liability insurance offers protection even if there’s no basis for the claim.

What isn’t normally included?

Certain events are not covered by Professional Liability insurance, including:

  • Bodily injury to third parties
  • Damage to property owned by third parties
  • Workplace injuries or claims for workers’ compensation

 

Refer to your policy documents for more details on what your Professional Liability insurance covers.

BizInsure has really come through for me on some really hard to place risks. Andrew takes the time to understand the risk and work through how we can make it work, rather than looking for ways to say no. Thank you for your help!

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.
