Accidents Happen.
Clients Sue.
How much can you afford to lose?
ASCP membership provides vital professional
liability insurance to protect you in case of an
accident. If an accident happens, clients will sue.
Having the right team and coverage can make
even the hardest situation a lot smoother.
When Rhonda* took a job at a luxury spa, she never dreamed she'd soon be living in fear of
losing her house. Rhonda performed an IPL hair removal service as she always does. Once the
treatment began, the client said she felt heat in a few areas on her leg. Rhonda told the client she
would avoid those areas and continued with the treatment. Following the treatment, she gave
her client the posttreatment care instructions. The client seemed happy and left. When Rhonda
started her job, her manager assured her all the treatments she would be performing were
covered under the spa's insurance. That wasn't the case. Rhonda came home from work one day
to find a court summons taped to the front door. The client was suing Rhonda for $600,000 in
damages and medical bills resulting from scarring on over 25 areas on her skin. Unfortunately,
the spa had let its coverage lapse and the client settled in court for $126,000. The client wasn't
the only one burned in this case.
