Social Worker Liability Insurance Coverage–Premium Protection at a Peace of Mind Price

At Career Shield Insurance, we know your social worker career inside and out.

A comprehensive policy means one that addresses your unique risks and specific services. Whether you’re a rehab counselor, school social worker, marriage counselor, rehabilitation therapist, or beyond, your career demands tailor-made coverage that tackles the specific risks associated with your job. Discover how Career Shield Insurance can offer you both the protection you need along with the peace of mind pricing you deserve.

Do I Need Social Worker Errors and Omissions Insurance?

The short answer to this question is a simple “yes.” The longer answer is “yes, but here’s why.” No matter how skilled you are at being a social worker, the inherent risk you face every single day never truly goes away. If something was to happen–accidentally or allegedly–that liability and everything that comes with it falls squarely on your shoulders. Acknowledging the inherent risk that comes with your career is a good thing. But choosing to protect yourself, your career, and your future against it is the best investment you can make. Thankfully, premium coverage from a reliable provider can change the risk associated with your job. Does that risk disappear with liability insurance? No, it doesn’t. But the repercussions of that risk are mitigated, and you’re protected from what might happen.

Picking the Best Social Worker Liability Insurance: Frequently Asked Questions

The process of finding the right social worker liability insurance isn’t always simple. Even understanding the ins and outs of social worker liability insurance can be a challenge. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or are not quite sure how to determine the right kind of insurance for your social worker career, read our frequently asked questions below for some insight. At Career Shield Insurance, we’re big on simplifying the insurance process–so if you have a question you don’t see here, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for guidance.

What Exactly Does Social Workers Liability Insurance Do? How Does it Help?

We always like to describe liability insurance as a safety net. It might sound like a funny analogy–especially if you think you don’t need a safety net–but hear us out. Pretend for a moment that you’re the world’s most famous tightrope walker. There’s no one quite like you, but you’re still performing with a safety net beneath you. Why? Because even though you might never need it, you know the hypothetical fall would be damaging to your and your career, probably beyond repair. It’s highly possible you’ll never trip and fall to the welcoming embrace of the safety net, but wouldn’t you rather know it’s there every single night when you step foot on the tightrope? Liability insurance is exactly like that. You might never need it, but when you do, you’ll be glad it was there.

What Kind of Liability Insurance Does Career Shield Insurance Provide for Social Workers?

Here’s an up close and personal look at how we provide for social workers like you:

  • General Liability: protects social workers like you from claims for injuries or property damage. With Career Shield Insurance, you have a $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate for general liability claims.
  • Professional Liability: provides coverage for claims asserting you were negligent in your services and an injury or form of damage occurred as a result. Professional liability claims also come with a $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate.
  • Product Liability: provides protection from an allergic reaction from the use of products in performing your services. You’ll be covered up to $1 million for product liability claims.
What’s the Difference Between Occurrence Form and Claims-Made Insurance Policies?

Don’t let these complicated terms fool you. They’re actually not as confusing as they sound. At Career Shield Insurance, we proudly offer occurrence form coverage for a very distinct reason–ultimate reliability. Occurrence form coverage guarantees that you’ll be protected for the time period in which your policy was active. That applies even if a claim is filed retroactively. That means if someone files a claim against you a month, a year, or several years after your policy with us expires, but the alleged event took place when your policy with us was active, we’ll cover you. And there will be no questions asked. A claims-made policy will not work the same way. Instead, they’ll only take care of you when your policy is active.

My Employer’s Insurance Will Cover Me If Anything Happens—Do I Really Need My Own?

Even if your employer’s policy has a little slice of coverage waiting for you, the truth is that it’s not enough. Don’t misinterpret us; even if your employer has the greatest intentions, their policy is going to do what it was designed to do: protect your employer. And there’s nothing wrong with that. You, like your employer, deserve to be at the center of your coverage. Only your own insurance policy can do that for you.

How Long Does the Quote Process Take With Career Shield Insurance?

We believe in up-front pricing without the back-and-forth process. That means you’ll get your quote instantly and your coverage can begin immediately.

What are your limits for each coverage type?

For professional and general liability, the limit is $1 million per occurrence or $3 million annual aggregate. For product coverage, the limit is $1 million annual aggregate.
