Liability insurance designed for
Florida Optometric Association members
Protect yourself with Professional Liability Insurance
As a highly trained optometrist, you take care in your practice and strive to manage the risk to your patients. Unfortunately, you can still have a malpractice claim filed against you.
Professional Liability Insurance from the AOA Insurance Alliance, administered by Lockton Affinity, helps with the cost, lost work and stress of defending yourself in a lawsuit.
Two policy types to ensure the right protection
We offer claims-made and occurrence-based Professional Liability policies to ensure your practice is covered, regardless of the policy type you have now.
Occurence policies
- The recommended policy for new FOA members.
- Occurence policies protect you from a covered incident even if a claim is made after the policy expires.
Claims-made policies
- This policy is offered for FOA members who currently have a claims-made policy.
- Claims-made policies require claims to be filed during the effective dates of the policy.
- We offer a simplified transition process by providing a retroactive date and short application.
