What is Physical Therapist Assistant Malpractice Insurance?
Malpractice insurance for physical therapist assistants provides PTA professionals with personal protection in case of a malpractice claim or lawsuit. Physical therapist assistant liability insurance is important for protecting the personal assets of medical professionals.
What Risks Do I Face as A Physical Therapist Assistant That Warrants Malpractice Insurance?
Physical therapist assistants work with a physical therapist to help patients recover from injury or regain mobility. Physical therapist assistants can help patients do specific exercises as part of a care plan as well as use devices and equipment such as walkers to help patients. While they cannot perform all the duties of a physical therapist, the assistants work hand in hand to ensure steady patient progression. Because of their direct contact with the patient as well as the nature of the work, physical therapist assistants can find themselves at the center of a malpractice claim. To ensure the safety of their career as well as their personal assets, all physical therapists should have the appropriate malpractice insurance.
