Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- Hypothetically, a parent alleges that an incorrect assessment delayed a child's appropriate care, and professional liability / E&O coverage is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
- Hypothetically, a client knocks a laptop off a table during a session and it is damaged; general liability coverage may help respond to a property-damage claim of this nature.
Frequently asked questions
What insurance does a speech therapist usually consider?
The main exposure is an allegation that the assessment or therapy caused harm, which professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, is intended to respond to. General liability addresses separate premises risks. Coverage varies by carrier and state.
Does seeing clients in their homes change the exposure?
It can shift the premises picture, but the advisory exposure remains. Professional liability / E&O is intended to respond to allegations about the care itself, wherever it is delivered; a licensed agent can explain how location affects general liability.
