How does statutory liability insurance work?
Statutory Liability Insurance in action
A student drowns while swimming in a pool with classmates and teachers during a school camp.
A WorkSafe investigation is launched to find out who or what was responsible.
Because the school has Statutory Liability Insurance, CCI appoints lawyers to represent the school and the teachers who were present when the student drowned.
WorkSafe finds no fault, no prosecution is made, and the legal costs, amounting to $175,000, are covered by CCI.
