In order to minimize risk, university employees are covered through the Commonwealth of Virginia’s insurance program. It provides coverage that fully conforms to statutory requirements for workers’ compensation.
All injuries should be reported immediately on a first report of injury to the Department of Human Resources. For General Liability, the insurance coverage applies to anyone representing Virginia Tech, whether full-time, part time, paid or volunteer.
For automotive liability, the coverage applies to state-owned vehicles and rented vehicles. The program also provides full replacement-cost coverage, less a $250 deductible, for loss of university property due to theft, vandalism, etc. or destruction by wind, water, freeze, etc. This coverage also applies to any Virginia Tech property in transit.
