Our insurance program for ADTA members and underwritten by Guild Insurance Limited offers Professional Indemnity and Business Publlic Liability cover under the one policy.
Professional Indemnity Insurance – designed to cover the legal liability of the driver trainer / school arising from any claim as a result of a breach of professional duty.
Public Liability Insurance – designed to cover the driver trainer / school where their alleged actions or negligence cause injury or property damage to third parties.
We understand the risk profile of a driver trainer and our policy has been tailored accordingly.
The policy is structured as a ‘difference in conditions’ policy. This means that the policy is designed to cover claims that may be excluded under your motor vehicle insurance policy or State compulsory/statutory third party bodily injury arrangements.
The type of claims that may be covered include:
- A motor vehicle insurer or a State Accident Authority seeking recovery against the driver trainer alleging his/her negligence contributed to the loss
- A commercial driver (ie. truck driver, courier, etc) loses their licence for a period of time resulting in a loss of income. This person then alleges that incorrect training by the driver trainer was a factor in the loss of licence.
- Injury sustained by client whilst attending classroom training
- Injury sustained by client whilst on private land, including the training school or office environment
- Alleged defamation of a competitor
- Alleged misleading or deceptive conduct (breaches of the Competition and Consumer Act 2012)
- Claims against the driving school (legal entity) arising from the actions of employees and/or contractors
- Claims arising from allegation of incorrect assessment
- Allegation of sexual misconduct or racial discrimination/abuse
- Claims arising from breaches of the rules governing your driver trainer licence/registration
