Negligent Training Benefit for AOR Members

Negligent training refers to an employer’s failure to provide adequate training to employees, preventing them from performing their jobs safely. This often happens when a worker is not adequately trained for the tasks they must complete in their work environment. Additionally, negligent training can arise if a company does not create sufficient training procedures that meet industry safety standards, resulting in policies that are below what is typically considered safe for that particular field.

The Attorneys On Retainer Program (“AOR”) provides members with up to $100,000 in liability coverage in the event of a final civil judgment for a self-defense-related matter involving an employee.

 

How AOR Covers Negligent Training

Businesses that provide training, such as firearms instructors, can be sued for negligent training. For example, if a firearms instructor conducts a class of 50 people and one of the trainees later commits a crime due to improper training, the instructor could face a lawsuit for negligent training. If your business is enrolled in Attorneys On Retainer, you will receive representation from The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm for any self-defense-related matter involving an employee.

 

Regardless of whether you are a firearms instructor or provide other types of training, AOR offers protection against claims of negligent training related to self-defense matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AOR offer criminal defense, civil defense, or both? And what are the limits?

Regarding self-defense-related legal matters only, AOR includes 100% of your attorneys’ fees through trial and any additional court costs and 3rd party expenses necessary for effective representation. Victim’s rights representation, civil defense, and any necessary appeals are also included without any additional fees, costs, or expenses. AOR also offers up to $50,000 toward bail, $4,000 toward scene cleanup, $1,500 toward mental health counseling services, and $1,000 toward firearm replacement reimbursement.

Does AOR include civil or compensatory damages?

Yes. We now offer up to $100,000 in civil or compensatory damages.

Why did AOR eliminate the 35% discount on attorney's fees for non-self-defense cases?

AOR no longer offers the 35% discount on attorney’s fees for non-self-defense cases because The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (“AFF”) now accepts only self-defense cases. The attorneys at AFF are focused solely on self-defense cases and do not accept any cases from any retained matter other than self-defense cases. The only exception is when we accept a legal advocacy case to generally advance 2A rights or some other pro-freedom interest.

What is AOR’s civil liability coverage limit?

AOR includes up to $100,000 in civil liability coverage for qualifying self-defense incidents, provided through The Attorneys For Freedom Risk Retention Group, Inc. (AFF-RRG). Additionally, AOR is actively working to increase the amount of civil liability coverage available to members. Details will be available as soon as possible.

What is AOR's new red flag/emergency order coverage?

AOR now provides all members of The AOR Program and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with up to $15,000 in legal representation coverage against or challenging emergency orders such as injunctions or orders of protection where the member’s firearm rights were suspended. You DO NOT have to be in a self-defense incident in order to receive this coverage. Additionally, the coverage does not apply to court orders issued in family law court proceedings. AOR is proud to represent members in “red flag” cases.

What is AOR's new expungement/record sealing coverage?

AOR now provides all members and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with up to $5,000 in legal representation coverage for fees and expenses incurred on behalf of members for any petition to clear record, set aside conviction, or expunge any conviction as permitted by relevant state law resulting from a member’s involvement in a self-defense-related matter which arose entirely after the member joined AOR.

What is AOR's new online firearms education and training component?

AOR now provides all members and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with an online training curriculum focused on the safe and legal ownership and use of firearms and other related self-defense matters. This curriculum includes training on general firearm safety rules, safe handling and storing firearms, practical instruction on loading and firing firearms, and information about legal rights and responsibilities related to firearms and self-defense issues.
