v. PHYSICAL ABUSE AND SEXUAL MOLESTATION
Physical Abuse and Sexual Molestation Insurance is insurance coverage that protects against losses related to lawsuits arising from claims of physical and/or sexual abuse.
This abuse can include molestation, physical blows, inappropriate touching, mental injury and more. A company, non-profit, or other organization may be sued for physical and/or sexual abuse allegedly enacted by an employee, volunteer, or other associated personnel. Coverage should be requested to include damages due to negligent hiring, employment, supervision, investigation, reporting to proper authorities (failure to report), and retention of any person for whom the Contractor is legally responsible which may include but is not limited to: the Contractor, Contractor’s employees, volunteers, board members and staff. Coverage is provided as an endorsement to the Commercial General Liability policy. It is important to require separate and dedicated dollar limits for this coverage. Due to a potentially long lapse of time between the alleged incident and when the incident is reported, it is important for coverage to be on an occurrence bases, rather than on a claims made basis. This means if the alleged incident occurred when a policy was in place, then coverage will be available regardless of when the incident is reported (though legal statutes of limitations may apply). Contractor shall provide proof of insurance of not less than the following amounts as determined by Agency:
