Why Do I Need Speech Pathologist Liability Insurance?

Even the most experienced SLPs face risks in their everyday work. Whether it's an injury on your property or a lawsuit from an unhappy client, unexpected claims can hurt your business. Without insurance, a single claim could have significant financial consequences.
 
SLP liability insurance can help protect you from:
 
  • Malpractice claims: You could be accused of negligence, misdiagnosis or improper treatment. Insurance helps shield you from these legal and financial impacts.
  • Client injuries: Whether a client slips in your office or trips over therapy equipment, accidents can happen. Insurance can help cover the costs.
  • Telehealth risks: As remote services become more common, insurance can help protect you from telehealth-related claims and technical issues, including data breaches.
