Medical

Employees (Faculty, Staff, Student Assistants, Registered Volunteers):
There is medical and disability insurance coverage through the workers compensation program while employees are working on the job. The criteria is that the injury must have occurred "in the course and scope of employment". The coverage is mandated by state law, includes all employees, whether they are on campus or traveling on state business. Please see the Workers' Compensation section of this web site for detailed information.

Students, Visitors and all others:
There is no medical coverage available. If the individual believes the University is responsible for his/her injuries and medical cost, their only recourse is to file a claim with the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board. Contact the Office of Risk Management and Sustainability for notification and to obtain a claim form.

If you see an accident on campus please call:

• University Police by dialing 911 from a campus phone or 278-8400 from a cell phone.
• Steve Martinez, Director of Risk Management at 278-7317 or 278-7422 .

You may be asked to complete a State of California Accident Report (Accident Report - STD 268).
