The Ins and Outs Filing a Yoga Insurance Claim

The Ins and Outs Filing a Yoga Insurance Claim

While you may be covered by yoga instructor insurance, filing a claim can be scary. After an incident, it's tough to make that call or send that email to your insurance provider. When something goes wrong, you may find yourself dealing with difficult situations. Filing an insurance claim is intimidating for many professionals, but it doesn’t have to induce dread. 

When you file a yoga teacher insurance claim with beYogi, you can expect our professional staff to help guide you through the entire process. We are on your side when something goes wrong. We know how scary an incident can be, so we prioritize our policyholders' needs above all else. Our friendly agents are here to be your guide so you know what to expect when filing a yoga instructor insurance claim. 

Why You File an Insurance Claim

Before we dive into what to expect when you file a yoga insurance claim, let's talk about why you need to file an insurance claim in the first place. Professional liability insurance for yoga instructors is there to help cover the cost when something goes wrong. A comprehensive insurance plan from beYogi helps protect professional, general, and product liability claims. 

When something goes wrong, and a client is hurt or experiences personal loss while under your care, you could be held liable to cover the costs of the repercussions. If you are a policyholder, your insurance company could help cover the cost of your client's compensation. 

The comprehensive coverage that beYogi provides helps cover a range of incidents and circumstances. We've created our yoga instructor insurance policy to completely protect yoga professionals throughout their careers. Though this is not an exhaustive list, here are a few reasons you may file an insurance claim: 

  • A client slips on a wet floor in your yoga studio 

  • A student aggravates a medical condition due to your instruction

  • A client injures themselves while attempting a pose 

  • A student’s personal property is damaged in your class 

  • You accidentally damaged your rental property where you hold classes 

Regardless of why you need to make an insurance claim, the beYogi team is here to help. We’ll help prepare you ahead of time for what to expect when filing a yoga insurance claim. 

Be Ready to File a Yoga Instructor Insurance Claim 

Even though it can be an intimidating situation, we aim to relieve the stress of filing a yoga insurance claim. There are several ways you can prepare before filing to help your yoga insurance agent. When you've prepared ahead of time, you can simplify the process and manage your expectations. Be prepared to discuss the incident in detail when you call. 

Here are a few things your insurance agent might discuss with you: 

  • Your personal info: Be ready to give your personal information to your insurance representative. Generally, it's a good idea to pull up your profile and have your member number ready to go. Your insurance agent will be able to pull up your policy and help get the ball rolling on filing a yoga insurance claim. 

  • Incident details: Be ready to tell your agent exactly what happened and what you experienced. Provide as much information as you can with the info that you have. Your insurance agent may ask about injuries, circumstances, and other details about the claim. The more information you can provide about your experience and incident, the better your insurance provider can help. 

  • All involved parties: As much as you can, tell the agent who was involved in the incident. If you have insight into the injured party’s information, provide that information. Any information you can provide about the injured person can help with your claim. 

  • When and where it happened: While discussing the details of the incident, explain when and where it happened. If the incident occurred at your rental facility, let the insurance agent know that information. 

  • Any other damages of relevant info: If there was any rental property damage, personal property damage, or other loss associated with the incident, tell your insurance agent. It's important to provide a complete picture of what happened in your experience. Any relevant information you can provide will help. Your insurgent agent can only help you if you provide accurate and complete information. 

When you're ready to contact a beYogi insurance agent, expect to review all the claim information.

Though we aim to process every claim quickly, it can take time to sort everything out. We strive to be thorough and detailed as we process your claim. Just don't expect instantaneous results once you file a claim. 

  • You may have to go over details multiple times: Filing a liability claim is an involved process. We will likely have several conversations to go over the details again. We want to ensure we have every detail correct in filing your claim. Examining an incident from every angle and reviewing every detail is how we best provide coverage for our policyholders. 

  • Information is your best friend: Knowing your policy and how you are protected is your most powerful asset. Study and expand your knowledge of your rights and how insurance will help. We provide multiple resources for our policyholders so they can equip themselves with the knowledge they need.

  • You may need help: A traumatic accident can affect you in many ways. It's crucial to take stock of your mental health and take measures to get the help you need. No one should have to go through a major incident alone. Talk to friends, or seek professional assistance if you feel you need it after something goes wrong. Do what it takes to take care of yourself and get the help you need.
