Coverage for a school psychologist?

[axeman462]

I have a friend who works for Hernando County Schools (In Florida). He is a psychologist for them, and wants to leave the teachers union. He says the only reason he stays with the union, is because they offer liability insurance for him.

I don't offer P&C insurance, just helping him do some research

Is there anything available to him?

No, sorry, couldn't find a thing. LOL.

the problem is, as far as I can tell (and from his research as well), most of the coverage out there is for licensed private practice. As he is not a licensed private practice psychologist, much of the coverage available, would not apply

Do you know if he's worked with an agent familiar with the space? Here's a product I found. You might also poke around and see if there are any RPGs or RRGs that will take him

As an employee of the school he should be covered by the school district's liability insurance.

yes, but in certain situations he would not. But he says if he were accused of harassment of some kind, or or slander, the school system would not, whereas the union still would.

Then he should continue his union membership.
