massage therapy malpractice and limiting liability
If a massage therapist forms a limited liability company, would this protect her personal assets in case that a client brings a negligence or malpractice case against her for hurting the client's back? Thank you.
Re: massage therapy malpractice and limiting liability
Forming an LLC is one of several forms of ownership. Each has advantages and disadvantages with respect to risk management. Cost of operation is another consideration. Cost and risk are integral to the business enterprise, its revenue and vision.
Other aspects apply to managing risk and these are fact specific. Contracts with clients, screening and other procedures apply to reduce risk. Insurance costs will vary based on these choices.
Acts of negligence cannot be completely absolved. Contact an attorney to form your business and for assistance with putting together a process that lowers the risk of loss through potential lawsuit. My office also provides accounting services should you require an integrated approach.
