PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE: As a professional, one of the most important considerations in practice is the acquisition of top quality malpractice insurance. Your LDA-sponsored Professional Liability Insurance program provides claims made or occurrence policies at competitive pricing. Highlights of the Association plan include:
- Underwritten by the Fortress Insurance Company, rated "A" (Excellent) by A.M. Best
- Because Fortress was created exclusively by and for dentists, your rates more accurately reflect your practice, not the losses of higher-risk physicians, surgeons or hospitals
- No Settlement Without Consent
- 10% Risk Management Credit
BUSINESS OFFICE PACKAGE: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have underscored the importance of adequate insurance on your building and contents. Although restrictive underwriting guidelines have affected the marketplace, the professionals at Robert Ellis & Associates continue to assist clients in making sure their property coverage is adequate to cover replacement (no deduction for depreciation) cost s should they suffer a total loss due to a covered peril. Your property representatives at Robert Ellis & Associates can provide you with a detailed survey to use in determining if your current coverage is sufficient.
In reviewing your current coverage, it is also important to make certain that your property and casualty portfolio protect you against:
- FLOOD
- EARTHQUAKE
- COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
- VALUABLE PAPERS AND RECORDS
- BUSINESS INCOME
- COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY
- NON-OWNED AND HIRED AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE
- ERISA BONDS
WORKER’S COMPENSATION is required by Louisiana law if your employ 2 or more individuals (including both full-time and part-time.) This coverage protects you against claims filed by your employees for injuries received at work.
For additional information or a premium indication on any of the products endorsed by your Association, please contact us. We look forward to the opportunity to be of service.
