About this file

The document is a set of Casualty Certificates of Coverage from the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Risk Management, for the State Risk Management Trust Fund. The certificates cover multiple liability and insurance categories for state agencies, including Workers' Compensation, General Liability, Firefighter Cancer Benefits, Federal Civil Rights Liability, Employment Discrimination, and Automobile Liability. Each certificate provides details on coverage limits, which are generally set at $200,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence, with some variations depending on the specific type of coverage.

The certificates are part of a self-insurance program authorized under Chapter 284 of Florida Statutes, with premium charges calculated using a retrospective rating arrangement where 80% of the premium is based on actual losses incurred and 20% is based on changes in risk exposures. The coverage is provided on a self-insurance basis, with payment of claim obligations contingent upon the availability of legislative funding. The documents outline various exclusions and conditions, emphasizing that the certificates do not constitute traditional insurance but rather a state-managed risk mitigation strategy for government entities and employees.

B. Inspection The Fund shall be permitted, but not obligated, to inspect at any reasonable time, the workplaces, operations, machinery, and equipment covered by this certificate.

C. Insured's Duties in the Event of Injury, Claim or Suit

(1) Notice of Injury

When an injury occurs, notice shall be given immediately, in accordance with current reporting procedures by the insured to the Fund.

Box 8020, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-8020, or to contract service vendor in accordance with current reporting procedures.

(4) Statutory Provisions - Coverage A The Fund shall be directly and primarily liable to any person entitled to the benefits of the Workers' Compensation Law under this certificate. The obligations of the Fund may be enforced by such person, or for his benefit, by any agency authorized by law, whether against the Fund alone or jointly with the insured. As between the employee and the Fund, notice or knowledge of the injury on the part of the insured shall be notice or knowledge, as the case may be, on the part of the Fund. The Fund shall, in all things, be bound by and subject to the findings, judgments, awards, decrees, orders or decisions rendered against the insured in the form and manner provided by law and within the terms, limitations, and provisions of this certificate not inconsistent with existing law.

All of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law shall be and remain a part of this coverage as fully and completely as if written herein insofar as coverage applies to compensation and other benefits provided by this certificate and in respect to special taxes, payments into security or other special funds, and assessments required of or levied against compensation insurance carriers under the Workers' Compensation Law.

The insured shall reimburse the Fund for any payments required of the Fund under the Workers' Compensation Law, which are made in excess of the benefits regularly provided by such law, solely because of injury to (a) any employee by reason of the serious and willful misconduct of the insured, or

The insured shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights.

(8) Cancellation Failure of the Fund to receive the amount of premiums billed to the insured agency within the time frames allowed by law may result in cancellation of the certificate of coverage. Payments must be made promptly from the insured’s operating budget upon receipt of the premium bill as specified in Section 284.36, Florida Statutes, and lack of prompt payment will result in a request from the Fund to the Comptroller to transfer premiums from any available funds of the delinquent agency under the provisions of Section 284.44(7), Florida Statutes.

(9) Terms of Coverage Conformed to Statute Terms of this certificate which are in conflict with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law, or Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, are hereby amended to conform to such laws.

The insured shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights.

6) Cancellation Failure of the Fund to receive the amount of premiums billed to the insured agency within the time frames allowed by law may result in cancellation of the certificate of coverage. Payments must be made promptly from the insured’s operating budget upon receipt of the premium bill as specified in Section 284.36, Florida Statutes, and lack of prompt payment will result in a request from the Fund to the Chief Financial Officer to transfer premiums from any available funds of the delinquent agency under the provisions of Section 284.44(7), Florida Statutes.

7) Terms of Coverage Conformed to Statute Terms of this certificate which are in conflict with the provisions of the Firefighter Cancer Benefits Law, or Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, are hereby amended to conform to such laws.

8) Self-Insurance Coverage Coverage for defending and paying claims under this certificate is provided under the authority of Chapter 284, Florida Statutes, wherein the state is authorized to administer a self-insurance program. Provision of this certificate does not constitute the issuance of insurance other than on a self-insurance basis, and payment of any covered claim obligations is contingent upon availability of legislative funding.
