Tort claims/incident reports process

Tort claims/incident reports process

Tort Claims are filed by non-employees (students, guests, vendors, etc.) who are injured or have their property damaged while on the University’s premises. This is a reminder that all accidents, personal injuries and property damages that happen on university property must be reported.

It is the responsibility of any state employee who witnesses such an incident to act in the following manner:

1) Report the incident immediately to the Public Safety Department (477.2449) and Environmental Health & Safety – Al Breuer (477.2998).
2) Acquire the name(s) and telephone number(s) of victims and witnesses, if possible.
3) Complete an Incident Report as soon as possible.
