What Does Esthetician Liability Insurance Cover?
Beauty may only be skin deep, but the risks you could face as an esthetician can run deeper. Protecting estheticians and other small business owners is what we do. We can help you understand your risks and recommend the coverage to help keep you from being financially scarred.
Damage to someone else’s property
You accidentally drop a skincare solution that stains the floor of your rented space and the landlord demands you pay to have the floor replaced. A general liability policy can help cover the replacement cost and any legal fees if the landlord decides to sue you.
Injury to a client
Expertise can’t always thwart the unexpected. For instance, a client tells you about an allergy and you mistakenly use a moisturizer cream with that allergen, resulting in a trip to the hospital and a lawsuit for medical costs and emotional distress. A professional liability policy can cover the medical and legal expenses, up to the limits of your policy.
Employees who get sick or injured
Being an esthetician can come with its share of personal hazards. Cuts and abrasions from razors or waxing applicators can happen suddenly, while shoulder, wrist, or back pain can develop over time. Workers’ compensation insurance can help take care of you and your employees if you become ill or get hurt on the job. It can help cover medical costs as well as rehab expenses, lost wages, and funeral and survivor benefits.
Caring for your employees is important, but so is caring for yourself. We also recommend workers’ comp for owners, even if they don’t have employees, especially because many health insurance policies won’t cover workplace injuries.
Stolen or damaged tools and equipment
Along with expertise, the tools, materials, and equipment you use are critical to your business. If they’re damaged or stolen, it can create two costly problems: You’ll have to pay to replace them, and you may not be able to run your business.
That’s why we recommend business personal property insurance. It can help cover the cost to get your tools and equipment repaired or replaced so you can keep your business going.
Mistakes, errors, and negligence claims
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you have a client that doesn’t like the results, it could be ugly for you. Let’s say the swelling from a bride-to-be’s microdermabrasion doesn’t subside before her wedding. She claims her day was ruined and sues you.
Even if you win in court, you could still have to pay the legal costs to defend yourself. This is another instance where professional liability insurance can save you from paying out-of-pocket.
