General Liability

Under general liability coverage, you can cover any property damage or negligence of your staff leading to damage or bodily injury. It also protects your company from patrons’ claims on your premises. Such type of coverage is very important if you hire independent vendors/contractors for your business like a physical therapist and a personal trainer. You need to ensure that the independent contractor has an insurance certificate with a general liability of almost more than $1 with additional medical coverage.

Professional Liability

Many fitness businesses only focus on general liability and neglect professional liabilities resulting in paying huge sums of money in case of any negligence claims on part of your employees. Professional liability is equally important as general liability. It will protect you in case of any negligence claims on your staff part including physical therapists, dieticians or trainers.

Extra Expense Coverage

In case of any natural or manmade disaster like COVID-19, floor or fire, your business may need to be closed for a certain period of time. In this case, you may have to relocate your facility that this coverage will allow you to.
