[humanser] Ensurance job requirements

I agree with Michael that a legal opinion is a good idea , however, at our hospital none of the staff are allowed to transport clients in their personal vehicles and so everybody has to take taxis if the client has to be transported.   I gather they believe that the insurance provided by the taxi is adequate.   I assume the rule that staff are not allowed to transport clients has to do with their belief that the liabilty risk is too great.

Hello,
   I would check with an attorney to see if you are covered for
liability as a clinician. There may be a different exposure in this
situation.

Hi there.

Yes, I looked it up on the web site.  This policy is written and
targeted towards drivers, but it does state that while en route the
driver and any passengers are covered.

Thanks Justin.  I did some research on the position I'm currently going
for,
and it's a bit different in how it is set up.  I would be eligible for
para-transit in the town the position is located in, and they do have uber
so I'd be covered under Uber's ensurance while in their vehicles.  There
is
a question about providing proof of ensurance on the application, but I'm
planning to just casually give the employer a heads up as to why I will
say
I can't provide proof of car ensurance on the application.  We have an
informational interview set up this week, which she wanted to set up
before
I could even ask for one.

No, you don't need to buy any other insurance.

Hello, everyone,

I've been searching for employment for a few weeks now, and I'm seeing
a troubling trend of posts not just saying drivers licenses are
required, but that ensurance is required on vehicles.  I know to just
ignore the valid driver's license part as I have a valid state ID, but
of course I'm never going to have car ensurance.  I have been using a
combination of public transportation, Uber and Lyft, and a hired
driver to get around for my internship, but even an internal job
posting says this is required.  One posting I saw not only required
ensurance, but specified the minimum dollar amount in coverage
required.

What should I do in these cases?  Planning how to get from point A to
B all the time is challenging enough, but now do I need to buy some
other type of ensurance to substitute for the car ensurance others
would have?  Would I need to stick to having a hired driver and prove
that they are covered to company specifications?  I'm still hoping
some stationary location will open up a job posting, but right now I
don't see any which fit that bill in the population I have been
training to work with.  Thoughts?
