There are two main reasons why chiropractic owners’ insurance is so important. For one, to fulfill a regulatory requirement as most states (if not all) obligate a chiropractic business to have insurance, among other requirements, before they are allowed to conduct a business. Another is that insurance serves as a cushion so that if an issue of enormous magnitude (like a patient filing a case) falls upon a chiropractic business, the owner will handle it with grace, knowing it has the needed protection.
If you are into alternative treatments and planning to open your clinic, chiropractic owners’ insurance should be on your must-do checklist. Here are some of its benefits:
Protection from malpractice complaints – for alternative treatments that include treating delicate parts of our body such as the spinal joint, anything can happen on the part of the patient. When a patient files a complaint claiming malpractice, you can rest assured of protection. That there is an entity that will help you financially if it requires you to shell out amounts of money for any expenses incurred.
Premises liability protection – covers damage caused by failure to maintain a property. Such failure may result in injuries caused by falling objects, broken walkways or stairs, icy or snowy pavements, slippery hallways, or simply negligence on the part of the patient. Whatever the cause, chiropractic owners’ insurance with premises liability protection will surely ease the burden from your shoulders due to the legal predicament associated with untoward incidents within your premises.
Worker’s compensation – covers all of the employees of a business except independent contractors. And, if an employee works out of his state, special provisions must be in place. It is a no-fault system, which means injured employees do not have to sue their employers for compensation. With ChiroSecure, for instance, compensation is automatic for covered benefits, except for extreme negligence – where employers have protection from liability due to work-related injuries and illnesses.
