Athletic Trainers Professional Liability Insurance

Liability Insurance for Athletic Trainers

Athletic trainers face unique injury and treatment challenges for athletes that may leave them increasingly exposed to malpractice lawsuits or disciplinary actions. If you’re relying solely on your employer’s professional liability insurance (malpractice insurance), you may not have enough protection. And if you’re moonlighting or contracting work outside of your employer, you likely don’t have any protection. That’s where Proliability comes in. We offer coverage that provides you peace of mind to focus on your athletes with premiums* as low as $195. Coverage is available for Athletic Trainers that are employed, self-employed or own a practice. Proliability is the only Preferred Provider for NATA since 1986 and coverage is available to members and non-members. Discounts are available for NATA members.
