Advancing your AT practice in Ontario is an OATA priority. Providing member benefits that ease the financial cost of entry to practice is also critical, especially post-pandemic. A Group malpractice insurance (PLI) offering is one way we, as an Association, can support you protecting your practice and your reputation. The OATA is proud to team up with one of the largest professional liability insurance companies in Canada. Hub is involved with the Ontario Medical Association and Trisura is the insurer of choice for many professions. HUB is the broker, Trisura is the insurer as the team behind the OATA Group PLI.

The Trisura suite of Professional Liability products gives the ability to tailor the coverage to fit each specific class of professional that it insures. When a suit is launched, the professional needs to look to an insurance professional to provide a defence against the allegations made by the client. Trisura provides that insurance expertise and handles the claim professionally and quickly so that the professional can focus on their area of expertise.

WHAT IS PLI?

Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) protects organizations and individuals from claims arising from the delivery of your professional services. It protects against liability arising from accusations of negligence or the failure to deliver the services expected of them. If a client of yours felt that you may have breached your professional duties to them, they might demand financial compensation for having failed in your responsibilities to them. The insurance itself often takes on different names depending on the professional services it represents. In medicine, it is called Malpractice Insurance.

Professional liability insurance is a requirement for maintaining your Athletic Therapist designation, registration with RHPA regulatory colleges and is required by sports teams.

WHY TRISURA?

The Trisura Professional Liability Insurance products provides it with the flexibility to tailor the coverage to fit each specific class of professional insured. When a suit is launched, the professional needs to look to an insurance professional to provide a defence against the allegations made by the client. Trisura provides that insurance expertise and handles the claim professionally and quickly so that the professional can focus on their area of expertise.
