Physiotherapist Insurance

Who needs physiotherapy insurance?

Physiotherapists need insurance to protect them from risk. As a physiotherapist, your job is to assess and treat patients who come to you with a variety of issues, which means, you are often in close contact with clients, providing them with hands-on services. While some of your treatment plans may be straightforward, issues may arise, which could result in a lawsuit. Depending on the result of the lawsuit, you may be required to pay a hefty amount in damages. Even if the lawsuit ends in your favour, the cost of legal fees can hurt your practice. Physiotherapist insurance, can provide coverage in the event that a claim is brought against you or your practice.
