College & University Insurance: Why an Accident Policy is Essential to Protecting Students
Pomi offers institutions of higher education an accident policy that has benefits for everyone.
What is College & University Group Accident Insurance?
College and University Group Accident insurance is a policy that provides financial coverage for expenses incurred from an injury to a student, athlete, fan, school volunteer or an event participant.
However, it is not intended to cover injuries to school faculty or staff, as they are generally protected under workers compensation or other similar type policies.
How Can Colleges, Students and Parents Benefit from Group Accident Insurance?
Group Accident insurance policies provide an additional layer of financial protection against liability claims incurred from an accident taking place on school property or anywhere else a school could be held responsible for it.
While commercial liability policies are also designed for such occurrences, most contracts have a deductible that the insured must meet before coverage starts. Group Accident insurance can fill in those gaps, to add further protection for an institution. Because the potential of legal action being taken against a school is always possible, a Group Accident policy can help minimize any financial impact.
Parents and students also benefit from having access to Group Accident insurance. Because it provides a financial benefit to students who are injured, it can be a great help to those who may not have major medical coverage.
It is also important to note that this type of insurance protection isn’t just for student athletes. Thousands of college students are injured each year while at school or when participating in non-sports related activities.
