Insurance Essentials for Interpreters
Protect Your Work. Understand Your Coverage.
As an interpreter, your work carries real responsibility… and real risk. Whether you’re freelance or agency-affiliated, professional insurance can safeguard your reputation, your income, and your peace of mind.
Join Gary Meyer of DHH Insurance for a focused 50-minute session designed specifically for ASL interpreters. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what professional and general liability insurance actually covers, how to evaluate your options, and why coverage matters even if you’ve never faced a claim.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the differences between Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) and General Liability insurance, including the specific types of claims each one covers.
- Recognize key policy features such as liability limits, deductibles, and coverage scope, and how each affects interpreter protection.
