Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insurance for healthcare businesses

General Liability covers physical injuries and property damage caused by your business. Professional Liability (also called Errors & Omissions) covers financial losses caused by your professional advice, services, or mistakes. For example, if an accountant makes an error that costs a client money, Professional Liability would cover the claim. Many service-based businesses need both types of coverage.
In Texas, Workers Compensation is not mandatory for most private employers, but it's highly recommended. Without it, you're personally liable for employee injuries and medical costs. Workers Comp covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation for employees injured on the job. It also protects you from lawsuits by injured workers. Many contracts and clients require proof of Workers Comp before hiring you.
Review your coverage at least annually at renewal time, but also whenever your business changes significantly. This includes adding employees, purchasing equipment, expanding locations, taking on new types of work, or signing contracts with specific insurance requirements. Regular reviews ensure you're not over-insured or dangerously under-insured.
