How does this insurance protect therapy professionals?

upcover saves time and effort by offering one affordable insurance product that covers both third party injuries and advice-related complaints.

upcover offers insurance that blends professional indemnity insurance for occupational therapists and public & product liability insurance, offering you tailored insurance solutions for therapists at affordable prices.

Professional Indemnity Insurance for therapy  (Limits up to $10m)

Qualified, mistakes happen to the best of us.

‍Professional indemnity protects you from claims made against your therapy business in the course of you providing your professional services.

Injuries

You're a physiotherapist and a client claims you used the dry needling technique during a session that led to heart damage.

Bad advice

An occupational therapist recommends that a client can move on to solid foods but this leads the client to choke and sustain further brain injuries.

Negligence

A counsellor filling in for a regular client ends up being overly directive and opinionated in respect to the past advice and support provided, leading to a loss of trust and damage to the client and counsellor relationship.

Public & Products Liability insurance for therapists  (Limits up to $20m)

Public liability insurance protects your beauty business against liability if someone gets injured on your premises or while you are providing your services.
Products liability insurance is for claims made against your therapy business for products supplied or sold by you to a third party. This might be a claim arising from a faulty product or a product that injured someone.

Public liability insurance covers cases including:

Third Party Injuries

While giving massage therapy to a client, you press on a nerve too hard causing a neck injury.

Property Damage

An Amazon delivery person trips over some physiotherapy equipment while delivering your order and injures their shoulder (that's not how you get new clients).

Faulty Products

You resell a box of fidget toys for an autistic client, however, one fidget device is faulty resulting in a choking incident.

Get your certificate of insurance in a matter of minutes!

Whether you're a therapist looking to attract more clients or a professional needing proof of insurance for work, having a certificate of insurance at your fingertips can make all the difference!

With upcover, you can get your certificate of insurance instantly. Even better, you can share it with one click!
