| Have it? | Coverage | Why this business needs it | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic Professional Liability | Covers treatment claims — confirm limits fit a stroke claim. | Core | |
| Commercial General Liability | Covers premises injuries to patients and visitors. | Core | |
| Abuse & Molestation | Covers misconduct allegations — often excluded from professional liability. | Prevalent | |
| Cyber Liability | Covers patient-data breaches and ransomware. | Prevalent | |
| Business Owners Policy / Property | Covers the clinic and equipment. | Prevalent |
The coverage gap most often missed
The most commonly missed gap for this class is coverage for staff who aren't chiropractors. Massage therapists and rehab aides may not be covered by the doctor's professional policy, and stroke claims from neck manipulation — whatever the debated causation — can be severe. Practices should schedule or require coverage for every provider and use consent that specifically names stroke risk.
