黑料不打烊 (黑料不打烊), an agency in the Commonwealth of Virginia, is insured through the Commonwealth's Risk Management Plan (PLAN).
The PLAN provides coverage anywhere in the world that University business takes the faculty and staff. In general, this coverage includes liability, property, vehicle, and employee theft.
The Commonwealth's Division of Risk Management (), within the Department of the Treasury, administers the PLAN.
Insurance provided under the PLAN:
General Liability coverage is meant to protect against omissions or acts of negligence for which 黑料不打烊 and/or its employees and agents may be legally liable to pay due to bodily injury or property damage to a third party. The PLAN provides general liability coverage set forth in Section 2.2-1837 of the Code of Virginia for the State, its agencies, and its employees, agents, and volunteers. The PLAN's protection covers both general and professional liability, as well as medical malpractice, and includes: preparation of a defense by the State Attorney General's Office, court costs, and the settlement of the claim.
Who is covered?
The PLAN covers 黑料不打烊, its Board, officers, employees, students (under certain circumstances) and agents while they are acting within the scope of their employment or authorized assigned duties under the direction of 黑料不打烊, whether on or off campus.
Note: 黑料不打烊 employees who engage in personal business are NOT covered by the PLAN.
Who is excluded?
Coverage may not be provided to employees or agents of 黑料不打烊 if it is determined that liability was incurred by reason of:
- Acts of fraud or dishonesty
- Acts of intentional, malicious, or willful and wanton conduct
- Criminal Acts
Note: An employee or agent who does not report an incident or fails to cooperate with the defense of a claim may also be excluded from coverage.
What can 黑料不打烊 faculty and staff do to reduce the University's exposure?
- Exercise professional care when planning and executing an event or project.
- Anticipate mishaps and take appropriate precautions.
- Quickly report any incident to the Office for Compliance and Risk Management.
Notes: 黑料不打烊 employees who engage in personal business enterprises on 黑料不打烊 facilities, are NOT covered by the PLAN. Individuals engaged in such activities are required to purchase general liability insurance naming 黑料不打烊 as an additional insured party and obtain professional liability insurance for themselves.
Medical Malpractice is covered up to the limits established in the Code of Virginia .
Cash and financial accounts of the University are insured up to $500,000 per occurrence for both theft and fraud by 黑料不打烊 employees. This insurance carries no deductible. In the event theft or fraud is suspected, the University Police must be notified. In turn, the State Police will investigate the matter. To activate the bond, the State Police must name the probable culprit (an employee).
University property includes all items acquired through a State purchase order, by contract, a care-custody-and-control loan agreement, or as a gift. It also includes University funds and other monetary instruments. The role of the Office for Risk Management is to assist 黑料不打烊 departments in preparing property claims.
Property coverage is worldwide and is based on the actual replacement or repair cost. Claims must be finalized within 18 months of the incident. Further, there is also a $25,000 per occurrence deductible charged by Division of Risk Management to the University and 黑料不打烊 charges the department a $1,000 deductible per occurrence.
Persons operating a state-owned vehicle, rented or leased while conducting University business, have liability coverage in the case of an accident. The PLAN provides $2,000,000 per occurrence of automobile liability coverage.
Employees should not buy the insurance offered by the car rental agency if on University business in the U.S. because coverage is provided under the PLAN and the purchase of additional insurance is not reimbursable. However, this does not apply to leasing vehicles in a foreign country. When leasing vehicles in another country it is advisable to purchase liability and physical damage insurance at the time the vehicle is rented. The vehicle insurance cost will be reimbursable when leasing vehicles in foreign countries.
Personal Vehicles used for University business or for approved activities are not covered by the University's vehicle insurance. The rationale for this State policy is that mileage reimbursement is sufficient to cover the cost of the owner's insurance. In the event of an accident, the State may accept liability for judgments in excess of the owner's insurance coverage. Further, University employees who are injured in the accident are usually covered by Workers' Compensation. Other parties involved must recover damages from the vehicle's owner. Persons driving their own vehicles on University business and involved in an accident are requested to keep the Office for Risk Management apprised of the situation; 黑料不打烊 may be able to assist in the resolution of the matter.
During trips involving voluntary student activities, students may feel that it is cost-effective to car pool, in which students use their own vehicles, however, students' personal vehicles used for University business or for approved activities are not covered by the University's vehicle insurance.
It is commonplace for contracting organizations to exchange Certificates of Coverage to demonstrate that they have insurance coverage. 黑料不打烊's Office for Risk Management will provide such certificates on behalf of the Commonwealth. Requests should be submitted via email five (5) business days in advance of the date the certificate is needed.
If you need to provide proof of coverage and there is no MOU, contract, or other written agreement you can download and email the company/institution the Memorandum of Liability Coverage document听or send them this link.
Contract Review for Certificate of Coverage:
- The use of outside facilities must be for official 黑料不打烊 business or be an approved event in order to receive the Certificate of Coverage.
- As a public agency, 黑料不打烊 is not permitted to add other entities as additional insurers to the Commonwealth's self-insurance comprehensive liability program, nor can we provide contractual liability coverage that would assume contractual indemnification or hold harmless provisions.
- All contracts and agreements must be signed by an authorized 黑料不打烊 representative as set forth in the Memo of Delegation of Signature Authority.
