Needlestick / Accidental Occupational Insurance by Vigilance

Insurance coverage for felonious assaults, needlestick and sharps injuries, and blood and bodily fluid exposure.

Who needs needlestick insurance?

We recommend that all healthcare workers have their own needlestick insurance coverage to financially protect themselves should they contract an infection due to a sharps-related injury or exposure to blood.

Despite advanced protective equipment and best practices, the risk of blood-borne infection through needle, sharp or splash remains a very real threat to all healthcare professionals. Although we can’t prevent accidents like these from happening, we can give you control of the outcome.

By trying to provide professionals with a cost-effective, easy to understand, INDIVIDUAL benefit, we can help you get your life back on track.

You may have a similar benefit through your employer, but what if you have multiple employers or you do volunteer work? Are you covered everywhere you provide services? Vigilance Needlestick Insurance takes the guesswork out and gives you back some confidence about your future.

Have questions about CM&F professional liability insurance policies?
What are the chances I will be injured on the job?

5.6 million healthcare workers are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Approximately 385,000 sharps-related injuries are sustained by hospital-based healthcare workers each year; an average of 1,000 per day.

How costly are sharps injuries?

Hep B & C may cost between $55,000 and $150,000 and the average lifetime medical costs for a person with HIV is estimated at $420,285.

Costs that are harder to quantify include the emotional cost associated with possible consequences of an exposure, costs associated with drug toxicities and lost time from work.

Is the benefit dependent on my income?

No. If you qualify for any of the benefits as outlined in the policy, you receive the full amount shown in your policy regardless of your income.

Aren't I already covered by my employer?

You probably have SOME coverage through your employer, but most insurance will only cover a percentage of your salary, leaving you short of where you were prior to the injury. Our policy pays a flat benefit amount, regardless of your income or other insurance.
