The importance of Professional Liability insurance for physical therapists and assistants

You’ve found your calling as a physical therapist or assistant. From helping patients with physical disabilities to assisting accident victims with pain relief to helping athletes improve mobility, you’re dedicated to improving the fitness capabilities and overall wellness of your clients. The work you do is highly regarded by physicians, coaches and health-related professional organizations alike.

But did you know that your close work with patients puts you at personal financial risk? Unfortunately, no matter how cautiously you perform your job, the nature of your work puts you at risk for lawsuits. Even your best clients can be encouraged to file a claim against you if they don’t get their desired results.

Lockton Affinity Health’s Professional Liability insurance is tailored exclusively for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. It covers defense costs and judgments or settlements that result from a claim against you, plus pays you for lost wages while defending a claim.

Why physical therapists and physical therapist assistants need personal coverage

Whether you are self-employed or employed by a clinic, fitness facility, school or other care group, the best protection against any allegation or claim against your services is your own physical therapy liability insurance policy.

While you may be covered under your employer, that policy may not be enough to protect your personal assets during a suit. Just one claim, justified or not, can take significant time away from your practice, impede your career and cost thousands of dollars to defend in court.

Lockton Affinity Health’s Professional Liability coverage is the smart choice for physical therapists, as it is designed for physical therapists and physical therapy assistants.
