First Aid Insurance

If an accident happened in the street... would you help?

Though first aiders clearly carry out a vital role in society, whether in the workplace or in public, this unfortunately does not exempt them from litigation should something go wrong.

In the increasingly litigious times in which we live, even those doing a good deed to help another human being can find themselves in court being pursued for compensation. First aider insurance is therefore highly recommended to protect yourself should the worst happen, and to give you the confidence to take the actions that you think are needed under pressure.

Who needs first aider insurance?

When things go wrong concerning the administering of first aid, it is somewhat of a grey area. It can be hard to determine if the outcome would have been the same, or worse, had first aid not been given. In other cases, being human, first aiders can make errors of judgement or make mistakes that may later be cause for litigation.

In short, if you are a qualified first aider working at public events, or even a named first aider in your place of work, first aider insurance, like medical malpractice insurance, can protect you from litigation in a civil court.

First aid trainers insurance may also be required if you train others how to administer first aid. This is to provide protection against the possibility of blame being passed on to you when something goes wrong, for example if someone you trained makes a mistake, and then blames it on the training that you gave them.
