Do physical therapists need liability insurance if they work for an employer?

Yes! While employers often carry liability coverage, it’s designed to protect the business first. Personal professional liability insurance is important because it: 

  • Covers you individually if named in a lawsuit 
  • Fills gaps if employer coverage has exclusions 
  • Follows you when you provide services outside of your primary workplace
