Is Liability Coverage Necessary When Programs Have Waivers and Affidavits?
While having parents and guardians sign waivers or affidavits might afford a childcare program with some legal protection, these generally aren’t a substitute for insurance. They normally don’t cover everything that an insurance policy does, and they don’t necessarily prevent people from filing lawsuits against a program.
Insurance policies not only offer other protections, but they also often cover a variety of liability suits regardless of the outcome of the suit.
What Sorts of Limits Are Available Through Childcare Policies?
Since the risks that come with supervising young children are significant, child care insurance policies frequently make high liability limits available to programs that want lots of protection. Not only do primary liability coverages often come with multiple limit options, but programs are usually able to get even more protection through excess liability and/or umbrella coverages. These are two forms of secondary liability coverage, and they normally offer high limits for comparatively low premiums.
An insurance agent who specializes in these types of policies can help programs find the best way to obtain the limits that they want. Depending on a program’s situation and available policy offerings, coverage might be obtained through a variety of primary limit selections and secondary liability coverages.
How Much Do Daycare Policies Cost?
There are many factors that influence how much daycare policies cost, and premiums vary a lot as a result. Even with the variance, though, policies tend to be affordably priced. They’re almost certainly more affordable than what facing a major loss or liability suit without any coverage in place could amount to.
Childcare programs can find out how much they’d have to pay for a policy by talking with an independent insurance agent. An independent agent has the freedom to request and compare quotes from several insurance companies, which makes it easy to see what different insurers charge for various coverage combinations.
