General Liability

Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause

General liability insurance covers a wide range of nail technician accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by salon and spa owners.

general liability can help you pay for:

Medical payments

Property damage

Legal fees and judgments

Professional Liability (E&O)

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence

Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of using a low-quality nail polish that causes an allergic reaction, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself or redo the job.

professional liability can help you pay for:

Professional negligence (actual or alleged)

Legal defense costs

Legal judgments

Commercial Auto

For business owners who own or drive vehicles

Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage. Personal auto insurance usually won’t provide coverage when you drive for business reasons, such as traveling to different locations for work.

commercial auto can help you pay for:

Medical expenses

Collision repairs

Rental reimbursement

Workers' Compensation

Coverage for workplace injuries

Workers’ compensation insurance can help pay for medical care and lost wages after a workplace injury. It’s almost always required if you have employees. Choose business owner’s coverage with your policy to protect yourself.

For business owners who own or rent physical spaces

Commercial property insurance can help protect your business equipment, inventory and even the building itself if you own it.

How does business insurance protect nail technicians?

Our nail technician insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You can be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You spill nail polish on a client’s designer purse. The general liability coverage in your insurance package could help pay for a replacement.**

Accidents that hurt someone

A client slips and falls on a freshly mopped floor. Your general nail technician liability insurance coverage could also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A client claims that they got an infection because your nail station was not sanitized. Professional liability insurance helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You experience a serious back strain after picking up a box of manicure supplies. Workers’ compensation insurance with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You slide on an icy road and damage your work vehicle. Commercial auto insurance can help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

Your nail salon is damaged by an electrical fire. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
