What is golf instructor insurance?
As a golf instructor, you spend hours on the golf course, teaching students everything from swing technique to putting. But given the nature of this profession, there are certain risks associated with golf instructors that require protection. Injuries, for example, are common and students could claim it was due to your instruction. Or, a client could sue you, claiming that you failed to deliver the agreed-upon services.
Liability insurance from Hiscox can protect you from these types of risks.
Liability insurance may also be required if you are looking to work as an instructor at a club or driving range – many of these places will want to see proof of insurance before you start teaching. With our easy access to ACORD certificate of insurance, you can prove you’re protected.
Example professions we also insure
Golf instructor policies we offer
There are two types of liability insurance that golf instructors should consider to protect themselves on and off the golf course.
This type of insurance is also called errors and omission or E&O insurance. It is essential for golf instructors, like you, to have professional liability insurance to protect yourself against claims made against your golf instructor business. Here are a few hypothetical examples:
- Claims of negligence: You are working with a student on their swing and in the process of them practicing, their back tweaks, and you call off the rest of the lesson. The student sees a doctor for their back pain and sues you for causing the injury, putting you on the hook for the associated medical costs. Having a professional liability policy could protect you if a student makes this type of claim.
- Loss of personal information: In the course of signing up a new student, the form they filled out with personal information, including their emergency contact information and home address, is lost. Since this qualifies as protected health information under HIPPA, the student sues you. If you have a professional liability policy in place, Hiscox may be able to cover the claim.
- Bodily injury: You are showing a student the proper way to swing technique, but the student is standing too close and you accidentally hit them in the head! The student could sue you for the injury they sustained. But with a general liability policy, you may be covered for this claim.
- Property damage: You are on the golf course with a student. As you are getting into the golf cart, your student’s phone falls out of their pocket and you accidentally run over it. Your student could sue you for damage to personal property. However, this situation may be covered if you have a general liability policy.
