Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- A client alleges a chemical peel resulted in burns and prolonged irritation. Professional liability insurance, also referred to as E&O insurance, is generally intended to respond to allegations of this kind in the event of a covered claim.
- A client is burned during a waxing service and seeks compensation. General and professional liability coverage may be intended to respond, subject to policy terms and the facts of the claim.
Frequently asked questions
What types of insurance do estheticians usually carry?
Estheticians commonly carry general liability together with professional liability insurance, also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance. The first is generally intended to address premises and third-party incidents; the second is intended to respond to allegations tied to the service itself, such as burns or reactions. Specifics vary by carrier and state.
Does the type of treatment I perform affect coverage?
It can. Chemical peels, dermaplaning, and certain advanced modalities may be treated differently than basic facials. Accurately disclosing every service you offer on the application matters, because undisclosed procedures may not be addressed. A licensed insurance professional can review your service menu.
