Definitions
Indemnification: The agreement of the University to assume financial responsibility for the liability of its employees.
Procedures
The University procures insurance or self-insures against losses including property damage, business interruption, injury, and legal liability. University departments whose personnel, students, or visitors suffer injury or suffer damages to real or personal property must cooperate with the Department of Risk Management to promptly investigate, settle, and mitigate the extent of resultant claims.
University employees’ personal property and personal automobiles, whether used to perform assigned duties or not, are not covered by ¶¶Òõ̽̽ insurance. It is an employee’s sole responsibility to maintain adequate property and automobile insurance.
If an employee is involved in an accident while operating a personally owned vehicle or a vehicle leased in the employee’s name, liability protection will be governed by the employee’s automobile insurance coverage, not by ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s insurance. If an employee is involved in an accident while operating, in good faith, a vehicle owned or leased in the name of the University, ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s insurance will respond.
Report all accidents and injuries to persons or property to your supervisor immediately and to the Department of Risk Management.
All serious property damage, injuries and auto accidents should also be reported to ¶¶Òõ̽̽ Police Services.
Is there education available?
Training will be provided on an as-needed basis as determined by the Approval Authority or the Responsible Official.
