Insurance and Liability Risk Management

0

Definition

Child care providers face significant liability exposure including: child injuries, alleged abuse/neglect, communicable disease transmission, facility accidents, staff wrongdoing. Professional liability and general liability insurance is expensive (typically $3,000-$8,000/year for small provider) and carries high deductibles. Lawsuits, even frivolous ones, require legal defense ($10,000-$50,000+). Insurance premium increases follow incidents. The loss mechanism: insurance costs are fixed expenses; claims increase premiums; litigation costs are passed to provider; reputational damage from allegations reduces enrollment regardless of outcome.

Key Findings
