Scenarios and Examples – Why You Need Dental Clinic Insurance
You have patients coming to your clinic
Consider a patient trips on a chair in the waiting room, injuring their ankle – or even slips & falls out in the parking lot. Commercial general liability helps cover medical expenses as well as any legal expenses in case they file a lawsuit.
An electrical fire breaks out
An electrical fire breaks out causing damage to not only furniture/fixtures, but also damaging patient files. Property insurance then provides funds to repair or replace contents, recreate patient files, so you can get back to serving clients.
You collect customers information and payment card data
One of your employees accidentally clicks an email link that compromises your computer and systems. You can no longer access member/customer info and information is compromised or subject to ransomware. Cyber Insurance provides a plan to help protect and restore your business, reputation, and your customer’s trust as well as covers associated costs of a cyber breach lawsuit.
What Does Dental Clinic Insurance Cover?
The following list are only examples of common coverages that dental clinics may need or are available in most packages. Working with you, one of our brokers will help identify which coverages are in your best interest based on risk/operations and obtain quotes from multiple insurers to get you the best value for your money.
Commercial General Liability
This coverage, also known as CGL, protects your business from the day-to-day risks of having customers come into your dental clinic. In case someone accidentally slips in the parking lot and injures themselves, this coverage covers potential legal fees and medical fees. If property damage occurs to a third party, CGL also covers legal expenses for defending these claims and repairing / replacing the damaged property. Even if you don’t own your building, CGL is essential to protect against damage to your leased space under Tenant’s Legal Liability. .
Cyber Insurance
Cyber insurance for dental clinics is crucial. Whether you store clients personal or payment card information online, or have a website up and running, the risks and consequences of a cyber-attack are real. Cyber insurance not only provides funds to protect yourself in case of cyber suit, it also allows you to save your reputation and get out of a cyber attack.
Property/Contents Insurance
There are many types of contents that a dental office might need. From Leasehold Improvements to your office to specialty machines, equipment, and furniture that dental offices use on a daily basis. If there is an insured loss such as a fire, flood, or theft, property insurance provides funds for you to repair or replace these items and get back to running your business faster. Typically we will also insure
Legal Expense
Dentists are at risk for a wide variety of legal disputes. A Legal Expense Insurance policy can help “fill-the-gaps” between the other business insurance policies specifically needed for your business and the other uncovered areas. This policy also offers unlimited legal advice at any time giving you the peace of mind you need to do your job.
Business Interruption
When you operate a Business, in the event of loss due to an insured peril (fire or flood for example), your business could not only lose your physical assets – but also could lose various types of expenses and loss of income. These expenses are not automatically covered by the property wording. Business Interruption insurance protects you against these monetary losses.
