Insurance for OTA Members

Your treatment helps improve and enrich your clients lives, sometimes though, unfortunate events happen to even the most conscientious OT.

A client making an allegation about the treatment you provided or even alleging your advice resulted in them purchasing unsuitable equipment or products, or someone slipping and falling on your premises, are events that can quickly turn into challenging situations that can have detrimental consequences.

Cyber Insurance arranged by Aon

Cyber Insurance can be an important policy to consider for any business with a digital footprint, as it may help protect your business from the costs associated with cyber events. 

An important aspect of cover that is typically available with Cyber Insurance is the assistance of a specialist cyber incident response team. They can provide initial support at the outset of a cyber event, helping businesses to reduce the impact of cyber events and restore operations as quickly as possible. Engaging an incident response provider can be expensive and time-consuming; however, under both CFC Cyber Insurance offers noted below, the policy cover includes incident response.**

Not all insurance policies are the same, as not all needs of an insured will be the same. Aon can provide access to more than one cyber solution and helps enable you to determine what cover meets your business needs and objectives.
