Why You Need Coverage: A Claims Scenario
Abuse or Molestation coverage
During a field trip, a teacher noticed that an eight-year-old boy was verbally assaulting another. The teacher took immediate action to separate the children and reported the incident in accordance with the school’s abuse reporting policy. The verbally assaulted child’s parents later sued the school and named the teacher responsible for the mental distress their child experienced. The school’s agent was well-versed on Great American’s abuse coverage and felt confident in the policy’s ability to provide protection for any actual, threatened or alleged act. The agent knew the policy covered both employee-on-client abuse and child-on-child abuse, and addressed sexual, physical and verbal abuse.
