WHY its important

Why is liability insurance important for health professionals?

Mistakes can prove to be costly if you're a health care professional. This can be devastating to you and your business - damaging your reputation, affecting your cash flow, and putting your business at financial risk.

You may be a personal trainer working on your client's workout regime or a yoga instructor helping them find inner peace, or even a support worker providing care to those in need - allegations of injuries or of poor advice can derail everything you've worked for and have potentially devastating financial consequences.
