Description: Program Objective
It is the County’s intention to provide both equitable and efficient service in processing every claim presented to us. The County controls costs by aggressively managing claims. The Risk Management staff actively participates in investigations, depositions, hearings and trials. The County believes that a cooperative effort between the Risk Management Department and the third-party administrator is the most cost effective way to manage claims.

 Background
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners is a state qualified Self Insurer. The County is self-insured for both the Workers' Compensation and Third Party Liability program. Claims are currently administered by Johns Eastern Company.

Third Party Liability claims include general liability, automobile liability and physical damage including subrogation, public officials' liability and employment practices claims. Property damage and smaller liability claims are usually adjusted in house.

Excess loss insurance is maintained with Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust, 300 North Beach Street Daytona Beach, FL 32114. The program design focuses on high deductible insurance covering property, general liability, police professional liability, employee benefits liability, automobile liability, public official’s errors and omissions liability, and workers’ compensation. The County’s self-insured retention ranges from $5,000 to $500,000. The Airport Liability is insured under separate first-dollar policies.

The County’s program includes the Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk of Circuit Court, the County Property Appraiser, the Supervisor of Elections, County Tax Collector and the Department of Corrections. The Okaloosa County Sheriff and Fire Departments are not part of our program.
