If you run a chiropractic office in Louisiana, you know your focus is on healing patients, not handling lawsuits. But accidents don’t discriminate, and one incident can cost thousands in medical bills, legal fees, or property damage.
General liability is the backbone of commercial insurance. For chiropractors, it provides protection in situations like:
Patients, delivery drivers, or vendors who slip, trip, or fall on your premises.
Accidentally damaging a patient’s belongings during treatment or while they’re in your office.
Protects against claims of slander, libel, or copyright issues in your marketing.
In Louisiana, small medical offices often have high patient turnover, tight schedules, and limited waiting room space—all factors that increase the risk of non-patient incidents. Add in the state’s reputation for active litigation, and the stakes rise even higher.
Many chiropractors think professional liability is enough. But while professional liability protects against claims of negligent care, it doesn’t help if:
A visitor falls in your lobby
A contractor claims you damaged their equipment
Someone sues over an advertising misstep
That’s where general liability fills the gap.
How many visitors (patients, vendors, delivery drivers) come to your office weekly?
Do you have coverage limits high enough to handle medical bills and legal fees?
Are you combining your general liability with property and workers’ comp for a full risk management strategy?
