http://www.businesswire.com
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AIG Risk Management (AIGRM), a unit of AIG Commercial Insurance, today announced several enhancements in support of its Higher Education, Real Estate, Healthcare and Temporary Staffing industry initiatives in the United States.
In support of AIG Higher Education Risk Solutions, AIGRM’s Commercial Risk Division has refined its commercial auto product to now offer borrowed car coverage. The coverage addresses the needs of colleges and universities that may have liability arising out of borrowed vehicles, especially under athletic programs or booster clubs, where local dealerships donate vehicles for school use and the standard auto liability form does not otherwise cover the liability under these arrangements. Industry-focused claims teams, with in-depth knowledge of the complex and unique risks facing colleges and universities, will be dedicated to support policyholders in effectively managing these liabilities.
AIGRM’s Commercial Risk Division has also enhanced its general liability policy to include care, custody and control coverage for storage facility companies. Offered through AIG Real Estate Solutions, the coverage, which is typically excluded from general liability policies, covers damage to the personal property of storage unit renters. AIG Real Estate Solutions will also begin offering specialized general liability coverage for security guard firms. This coverage provides bodily injury and property damage coverage for loss arising out of the failure to render professional services or when the use of reasonable force to protect a person or property is necessary. The enhancement also provides an additional occurrence limit for damage to property in the care, custody and control of the security firm.
As part of AIG Healthcare Solutions, AIGRM’s Commercial Risk Division will provide a new, comprehensive suite of loss control services for its workers’ compensation customers. The services will include: best practice needs assessment using industry performance data; procedural training in patient handling, blood borne pathogens, control of sharps and hostile patients; on-site safety assessments and evaluations; a toll-free resource helpline; on-line training, continuing education and DVD or CD-ROM safety training programs. Each of these services will be supported by qualified healthcare professionals, including RNs, acute care and long term care nursing professionals, facility administrators, therapists and rehab specialists and case managers.
AIGRM Commercial Risk Division’s AIG Temporary Staffing Solutions is also enhancing its loss control services by offering access to an independent firm that will perform applicant background checks at preferred rates to its workers’ compensation clients. Pre-employment background checks can often assist a company in selecting the right employee.
