A new insurance program has been developed to protect Locums. No matter how diligently you remove all possible hazards from the office/clinic, you could be sued successfully for accidents resulting from simply the carelessness of a patient or others. General liability insurance is your line of defense against devastating claims for things over which you may have little or no control.

Coverage includes $5,000,000 Commercial General Liability (Third-Party Public Liability) for Bodily Injury and Property Damage. Also included are Personal Injury Liability, Advertising Injury Liability, Medical Payments and Tenants Legal Liability.

$5,000 coverage is included to insure books and instruments pertaining to your profession. Additional coverage is available.

The annual premium for the package is $275 and is available from Willis Canada, the broker who offers the OMA endorsed home, auto and office insurance plans. You can contact Willis Canada at 416-869-1320, 1-800-268-8532, and at wctinsurance@willis.com.
