Liability Insurance

PAGE offers the best legal protection and professional liability insurance available. Each year hundreds of PAGE members benefit from successful resolution of their legal situations, because PAGE’s legal advice and attorneys are just a toll-free telephone call away.

PAGE works in a positive, professional and confidential manner on legal issues, without fanfare or publicity. Our members themselves ask that we not create any undue publicity that can further damage their case or their reputations. Because we believe that this is the best way to resolve sensitive legal matters involving our members, you don’t often read about PAGE members’ legal problems in the newspaper – but we are there supporting our members nonetheless.

Our professional liability coverage protects you from lawsuits filed by parents or students with coverage limits of $1,000,000 per insured and $3,000,000 per occurrence. (For a copy of the policy including exclusions, please contact us.) This is the protection you need most as you interact daily with your students. PAGE stands with you as you go about your required duties each day in an increasingly litigious world.

In the unlikely event that you are charged with a crime, in relation to your duties as an educator, PAGE insurance protection provides for the payment of attorney fees, win or lose up to $10,000 per member per claim, with an annual aggregate maximum of $20,000.  In addition, there is coverage up to $5,000 for reimbursement of bail bond premium.

In employment actions such as termination, demotion, salary, or resignation; and in certification cases, PAGE legal protection is also provided. Immediate and comprehensive legal consultation is provided to you free of charge. A PAGE attorney will review all of the particulars of your situation at no cost to you. If your rights have been violated or the relevant education law has been broken, the policy will pay up to $10,000 in legal fees to resolve the matter.

Finally, PAGE has a new Assault Related Personal Property Damage Endorsement which insures members up to $2,500 per assault for damage or destruction of the insured’s personal property, provided the damage is caused by an assault upon the insured on or surrounding the school property or while away on an authorized school activity.
