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 the Human Resources 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 Environmental Health and Safety and Risk Management (EHS/RM) at 559.278.7422
for notification and to obtain a claim form
