Protect Yourself with General Liability Insurance

As a personal trainer, clients turn to you for expert advice on health and fitness. Unfortunately, they can just as easily turn on you if they believe the exercise program you recommended caused their illness or injury. The number of clients suing their trainers for negligence has risen dramatically in the past few years, and many of these lawsuits have resulted in awards of substantial sums of money.

How Does General Liability Insurance Help?

General liability insurance helps you by protecting you from financial loss. Without insurance, if a client is injured and sues you for negligence, you would have to pay for losses out of your own pocket.

When you teach at a facility that someone else owns, their insurance does not cover you and will not protect you! Most gyms and schools require you to have your own general liability insurance.

Note: All trainers must be currently certified by a national organization approved by Markel Insurance Company. Click here for a list of Markel-approved organizations.
