Why do pharmacies need insurance?

Pharmacies are a common target for criminals, especially when you have long hours or few employees. Business insurance is a key part of risk management, and helps you recover financially from theft, fires, storms, and lawsuits. Some policies, such as workers' comp, may be required by law.
