The Unique Risks and Why Your Clients Need School Liability Insurance
There could be many reasons why your client(s) need school liability insurance from an excess and surplus lines insurance company. Here are a few common reasons:
- Your client has been declined, canceled, or non-renewed by another insurance company
- Your client was dropped coverage due to too many claims
- Your client is in a high-risk area due to high crime rates, weather storms, etc.
A unique risk that schools have is the possibility of an active shooting incident. Statista reports that “as of December 2021, there were 249 school shootings in total in the United States. This was the highest number of school shootings since 1970. Of these incidents, only nine were active shooter incidents. The largest number of active shooter incidents in schools was in 2018, with 11 active shooters.” The pandemic has helped slow down the number of school shootings a little bit but relatively speaking the number of active shooters at schools are still quite high.
As a result, schools are hiring security guards and taking other security measures to help protect their students and staff from active shooters. Security guards and even teachers, at some schools, are armed with a firearm. This poses more risk, creating a need for coverage in the event of an accident or incident such as an accidental discharge. Prime can also write active shooter liability coverage as part of the school liability insurance policy.
Every school is different and has different needs. Prime has flexible underwriting and a partnership approach to understand what those needs are to provide maximum protection.
