Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Large practices and corporations have many employees and need insurance to cover potential employment lawsuits. However, small practices are often the most vulnerable because they lack an employee handbook or legal department to handle proper procedures regarding hiring, terminating or disciplining workers.
EPLI protects employers against employee claims involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and other employment-related matters. The cost of insuring your practice will depend upon several factors, including:
- Number of employees
- Employee turnover rate
- Employee practices and protocol
- Previous lawsuits
Cyber Liability Insurance
In this digital age, sensitive patient information is stored online. Cyber liability insurance protects your practice in the event that this information is compromised, by providing coverage for legal costs associated with data breaches, fraud monitoring, and customer notification expenses. The cost of this coverage depends on factors, such as:
- Legal expenses
- IT forensics
- Negotiations and payment of a ransomware demand
- Data restoration
- Breach notification to consumers
