Comfort in stressful times

Having to defend a legal claim against you as an audiologist can be a highly stressful experience. It is a threat not only to your assets but to your reputation. This is where dealing with a specialised insurer, who can provide adequate protection and caring personal service when you need it most, can be a great comfort.

Guild Insurance specifically tailored liabilities insurance for audiologists with the right level of service, easy access to legal advice and support, and cover to suit your needs.

Support is at hand

If you ever find yourself in a position where you need to report an incident or make a claim you can always contact a Guild representative at your local Business Centre. You will have peace of mind knowing that when you phone Guild, you will always speak directly to a staff member. Where required your call will be immediately referred to a lawyer.

Receiving timely legal advice aids in effective management of incidents and helps to avoid complaints becoming claims. Audiologists with Guild Insurance can access lawyers with significant experience defending claims against health professionals, who can provide you with immediate and ongoing advice on how best to handle a potential claim.

Cover to suit your needs

It’s also helps to know that you have the right level of insurance cover in the event of a complaint. Guild Insurance offers flexibility with our cover with an indemnity level of either $5 million or $10 million for a combined liabilities cover that includes professional indemnity, public liability, and products liability insurance. Whether you are part-time, full-time, in public practice or a practice partner, there is a cover option to suit your needs.

You can also receive cover for Inquiries and Proceedings. Being drawn into an inquiry can be costly and stressful too, even when you are not in the wrong you can incur the representation costs and expenses. This cover protects you by providing up to $100,000 to cover the legal costs and expenses which you may incur in relation to an official investigation, examination or inquiry, while our lawyers will provide you with support in inquiries where needed.

The right service

A claim made against you in practice can impact upon your career and livelihood. When weighing up your choice for professional indemnity insurance, make sure you consider all aspects – not just the premium. Consider if something were to happen whether you would have the appropriate cover and the right level of service to support you in this potentially distressing circumstance.

 

How will your insurance respond in the event of a claim?

While it can be easy to view all insurance covers as one-and-the-same, each insurance policy provides different levels of cover and every insurer responds with different levels of service to support you in the event of a claim.

In the event of a claim, some key things that you are likely to consider are:
