Chapter 4. Professional Liability Insurance

4.1 Professional liability insurance provides coverage for:

a. Legal liability for damages (including the expenses for litigation and settlement) awarded to another for injuries resulting from or arising out of any tortious act, error, or omission (whether common law, statutory, or constitutional) by a qualified employee while in the performance of their official duties. Such insurance does not cover injury or death resulting from medical malpractice.

b. The cost of legal representation (including other legal costs and fees related to the proceedings) for qualified employees in connection with any administrative, judicial, or disciplinary proceeding (including any investigation) relating to any act, error, or omission by the employees while in the performance of their official duties.

4.2 A qualified employee (as defined in Appendix A) may be reimbursed for one half the cost incurred for professional liability insurance, not to exceed $150 per year.

4.3 All qualified employees are eligible to participate if they choose to do so.

4.4 Once an employee's eligibility and proof of insurance have been verified, the employee must complete Standard Form 1164, Claim for Reimbursement for Expenditures on Official Business, and submit it to the NSSC Accounts Payable in order to receive reimbursement.
