Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance, also known as SAM or SML insurance, can help defend against allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, or inappropriate behavior. This coverage is essential for a wide range of beauty and bodywork professionals, including:
Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance is available online immediately, allowing individuals and businesses to add it to new or existing policies for as little as $4.92/month.

Additionally, salon and spa owners can add this coverage for their technicians, staff, or providers when purchasing liability insurance for their locations, starting at $12.42/month.
Whether purchased individually or part of a business policy, Sexual Abuse & Molestation Insurance is designed to cover costs associated with abuse or misconduct-related claims, including attorney fees, defense costs, judgment fees, legal awards, and settlements.
President and CEO Daryle Stafford stated, “We understand how deeply distressing and serious allegations of misconduct can be, even if they are false.
