Dropping The Cold,
Hard, Facts.
In 2021, the National Safety Council (NCS) found the leading cause of sports injuries came from exercise equipment. Client injuries are also the most common type of claim insurance companies see from athletic and fitness trainers.
The risk of a client getting hurt during a training session is growing, but investing in liability insurance can help athletic trainers like you manage these risks. From costs to coverages, we answered some of the most common insurance questions athletic trainers have.
What Is Athletic Trainer Liability Insurance?
Athletic trainer liability insurance is a type of insurance plan that can cover the costs of claims involving slip-and-fall accidents, bodily injury, property damage, and more. It can also help you repair or replace damaged or stolen equipment you use to train athletes if you choose to add tools and equipment coverage.
Because athletes train at a higher intensity, they can be more susceptible to serious injuries. You also may be helping an athlete recover from a previous injury, so you have to be careful as to not injure them any further. If an athlete is injured under your direction, you can face some costly consequences.
Higher Intensity Is Higher Risk.
