General Liability Insurance

Directors and Officers Liability (D&O) insurance
D&O insurance (Directors and officers liability insurance), shields the personal assets of company directors and officers, and where necessary, their spouses, from claims which could arise as a result of the decisions they made and actions they took within the scope of their regular duties.

Cyber liability insurance covers the financial costs associated with a breach of your cyber security, such as a ransomware attack. It also covers first party costs including event management, data restoration, financial costs to third parties, network interruption, and cyber extortion.
HNO Insurance
HNOA, (hired non-owned auto insurance) is designed for organizations who regularly hire vehicles or require employees to use their own vehicles in the course of their work. In the case of an accident where your employee was liable, it could cover physical damage to that other person’s vehicle, medical expenses, the cost of hiring an attorney to defend your business.
Workers’ Comp. Insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance covers your employees for workplace injuries or illness. It provides them with medical and wage benefits.
This coverage is mandated by each state, with the wage and medical benefits varying from state to state. Workers compensation also protects business owners from civil suits by workers who become injured on the job.

- Discrimination (based on sex, race, age or disability, for example)
- Wrongful termination
- Harassment
- Failure to promote and other employment-related issues
Environmental Liability insurance
Environmental Liability insurance is liability insurance specifically designed to protect environmental liabilities. This is a specialized form of general, commercial liability insurance that provides financial protection against litigation and clean-up costs resulting from claims of injury or damage caused by pollution, contamination or hazardous waste disposals.
Property Insurance
Property Insurance covers unexpected damage or loss to property. The policy can be purchased to cover both structures and contents, which are separate policies in many cases. Property Insurance covers physical structures, not land. Medical facilities and aged care facilities need property insurance to cover the real property and all fixed items such as furniture, medical equipment, art works and tapestries.
Crime Insurance
Crime Insurance covers the insured party a reimbursement if their property is damaged due to a crime. Crime Insurance usually has a huge range of options and comes in different forms. It can be either a rider that can be attached to the existing insurance policy, or it is available as a completely separate product.
Auto Insurance
Auto insurance is a type of liability insurance coverage, usually mandated by law, for all mechanically propelled vehicles. It provides protection against losses resulting from traffic accidents and against liability that could also arise therefrom. A medical or aged care facility would typically have auto insurance on their fleet of vehicles as well as for any vehicles transporting patients to and from the facility.
Fully/Partially Funded insurance
Partially Funded insurance gives facilities the opportunity to pay a set premium for, and then in turn is partially covered for specific risks.
Fully Funded Insurance allows facilities to pay premiums to have coverage against all risks. In return, if they are unfortunate enough to incur any of the covered loss or injury, they are reimbursed their insurance policy amount.
Excess and umbrella coverage
Excess coverage provides an additional layer of protection over and above what an underlying policy provides. It applies to a single policy only.
An umbrella policy on the other hand, provides additional liability coverage over and above what is provided by a number of underlying policies.
imaging technicians
require special insurance coverage
Imaging technicians play an important role in the medical industry, helping to create images that can be used to diagnose and treat patients. As with any other profession, however, there are certain risks and challenges associated with the job. Some of the specific risks faced by imaging technicians include radiation exposure, accidental needle sticks, and injuries caused by moving equipment.
In order to protect themselves from these risks, imaging technicians typically carry insurance policies that provide coverage for medical expenses, disability, and death. In addition, many technicians also carry liability insurance to protect themselves from lawsuits if they are found to be responsible for any injuries or damage that occurs as a result of their work.
Professional liability is essential for imaging technicians, as it can provide coverage for damages that may be awarded in a lawsuit. For example, if an image created by the technician causes further injury to a patient, the liability insurance would help to pay for any resulting medical expenses. In addition, the policy could also help to cover the cost of defending against a lawsuit, as well as any damages that may be awarded if the technician is found to be at fault.
The insurance requirements for imaging technicians can be quite complex, and it is important to understand the specific needs of this profession. By working with an insurance broker who specializes in medical insurance, technicians can be sure that they have the coverage they need to protect themselves from the risks of their job.
