Firefighter Liability Insurance Coverage
A firefighter must work in dangerous surroundings, and under extreme pressure. They are responsible for saving children, evacuating seniors and the disabled, and performing CPR, which are only a few of their daily job tasks. These responsibilities require quick thinking and flawless accomplishment of evacuation strategies. While taking every chance to make sure you stay safe, it’s also important to make sure you have the right insurance. Most departments will provide insurance, but is that traditional insurance plan enough? Does it have any gaps?
For this reason, it is extremely important to have a custom firefighter liability insurance plan. Something may go wrong on the fire line and the firefighter could face lawsuits and other court charges. Liability insurance would provide protection from assault and battery, sexual abuse and molestation, lawsuit defense protection, and wrongful acts protection. Firefighters work to get people safe and for the protection of the people, but they also need someone working for the protection of themselves.
