As a member of the AKA, you have exclusive access to the AKA Member Insurance Program with BMS. The program offers Professional Indemnity and Public & Products Liability Insurance (PIPPL) to help protect you, so you can work with confidence.
What Is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance protects you against allegations or third party claims due to injury or damages that have resulted from a negligent act, error, omission, malpractice or breach of duty that has arisen out of your professional capacity as a kinesiologist.
What Is Public Liability Insurance?
Public Liability Insurance provides cover for bodily injury or property damage to a third party that occurs while conducting your professional activities. This is primarily a legal defence costs cover but also covers settlement costs in the event that you are found to be liable and/or negligent in causing the injury or property damage.
What Is Products Liability?
Products Liability Insurance covers you for actual or alleged bodily injury or property damage to a third party arising through use of a product sold, supplied, or manufactured by you.
