Dietitian Insurance

Insurance is your business’s safety net. For example, when a client sues your business because you aren’t able to give the client the result that they deserve you’ll be responsible for paying for the damages or the lawsuits that would happen should the customer files for a complaint. For this reason, insurance will pay all covered expenses in order to save you extreme financial loss.

While dietitians do not face the same risks as a surgeon or doctor, they still provide advice to clients and are prone to liability risks:

• The business property is at risk of fire, flood, theft, vandalism and even damage due to a natural disaster.
• Your employees could become sick or injured on the job and they could sue your business for negligence.
• A client could file a claim that your advice or service did not provide proper results, leading to a lawsuit.

These are just some of the many risks dietitians could face.

The cost of insurance varies on several factors, usually the type of your business, the number of employees you have, the property you have and the coverage your business needs. Without taking to account these factors, below is the average cost of business insurance:

• General Liability insurance costs $400 in annual premiums.
• Commercial Property insurance costs around $500 in annual premiums.
• Professional Liability insurance costs $900 in annual premiums.
