Professional Liability Insurance for
Federal Aviation Managers  

"I served as a senior executive with the FAA for 24 of my 33 years of public service and strongly recommend that all supervisors, managers and senior executives have the FEDS Professional Liability insurance as their trusted partner. Public service is a wonderful experience, but having FEDS Professional Liability insurance as a partner is critical. Leadership requires risk taking and making difficult decisions that often create controversy and conflict that can adversely affect your successful career. Employees make false accusations for many reasons that often take months or years to investigate and adjudicate. It is a lonely journey to resolution even if all the allegations are unfounded...In my opinion, you won't do better than FEDS Professional Liability Insurance as your trusted parter."

- Tom Accardi, FAA, Director of Aviation System Standards (Retired)

Like any insurance, one hopes never to have to use it. Our interactions with FAAMA national and regional leadership and members provides us with an upfront and personal understanding of today's challenges in aviation safety and employee oversight. We are there for you when new policy changes, politically charged responses, and accountability demands for decisions made before, during or after each new FAA-related incident leads to OIG Investigations, Accountability Board Investigations, Office of Security Investigations, Office of Special Counsel complaints/investigations, Congressional investigations, proposed disciplinary actions, lawsuits, etc. Very often, FAA managers invoke policy benefits due to employee allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and whistleblower reprisal.

Far too many of you think you are immune to allegations of wrongdoing, regardless of how many times we reinforce the need to have professional liability insurance. Unfortunately, ignorance is expensive. If an allegation is made against you, the challenge is having the necessary expertise to defend yourself successfully. You will be dealing with a process that limits your rights and access to information.

All too often, FAA managers don’t consult with an attorney to understand the legal rights and obligations in the investigative process. It is also necessary to understand the power of the investigator and the parameters of the law under which you’ve been accused. Far too many managers were dead certain they did nothing wrong, and then went to the initial interview without obtaining legal advice, only to learn that they unknowingly admitted to violating some civil service or other law, rule or regulation. Much more often than you think, fellow managers find themselves facing proposed disciplinary action or worse – prosecution – while dutifully, honestly and innocently performing work on behalf of the Federal Government.

The quality of your legal representation matters. FEDS Protection only works with knowledgeable, tenacious experienced federal attorneys with proven records of success. Read more about them here.

Today’s policies and politics subject federal managers to complicated, overreaching, and never-ending government investigations – and even though innocent – so many are simply unable to maneuver the process successfully without experienced legal counsel. Through FEDS Protection’s professional liability insurance policy, you are appointed your own lawyer to defend against work-related allegations and claims.
