Frequently asked questions
Why would a dietician or weight-loss clinic need PL/E&O insurance?
Because clients can allege that the advice or plan you provided caused them harm. Professional liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance are generally intended to respond to that kind of service-related claim. A licensed insurance professional can review your practice.
Are medical procedures covered the same way?
Medical or clinical procedures may be excluded from a general business policy, and bodily-injury exposures can be treated differently. Professional liability / E&O insurance is generally intended to respond to advice-related claims, but a licensed insurance professional should confirm what your specific services require.
