DFPS provides accident, volunteer liability, and, if appropriate, excess auto insurance to volunteers who are supervised by DFPS-paid staff or a DFPS designated volunteer, in accordance with the terms of the insurance policy. Some examples of exclusions include persons who are uninsured motorists, court-mandated community service volunteers, or group volunteers.
Volunteers are not covered under the Worker's Compensation Act. The State Tort Claims Act may cover medical expenses a volunteer incurs as a result of an accident that occurs during the volunteer activity.
Additional information regarding insurance coverage and availability is available through your supervisor or local volunteer coordinator.
