How does business insurance protect education consultants?

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

Damage to someone’s property

You rearrange desks and leave scratches on a school’s new classroom floors. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips over a box of files you left on a conference room floor. Your general liability insurance would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A client claims that programs you implemented led to increased teacher turnover. Educational consultant professional liability coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You trip and injure your knee while carrying a box of textbooks. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You dent another car while pulling into a school parking lot. Education consultant commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

A water pipe breaks and causes extensive water damage in your leased unit. 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.
