FDCA insurance offers protection for educators and services when they need it most. But don’t just take it from us! Find out how we helped a real member save thousands below.
Incident: a child attending family day care in an apartment complex threw a rock which damaged a window of common property in the same complex.
Claim amount: $17,950
The educator received a notice from her strata management company, claiming damages after the incident. The educator notified FDCA, who lodged the matter to the claim administrators.
A repair estimate was obtained and payment was made to the strata company with nil excess owed by the educator.
The result for the educator in question? The financial freedom to continue running her family day care business and peace of mind knowing that accidents happen, and we’re here to help.
