Claims: Bodily Injury
If someone is injured or requires medical attention while on
church premises or at a church activity, follow these procedures.

- Seek appropriate medical attention.
- Investigate the situation and protect personnel from further
injury.
- List all possible witnesses with names, addresses, and phone
numbers.
- Report the situation to Risk Management Services at
1-800-825-2806, ext. 1492, and to your supervisor, pastor, or
camp director the same day or next working dayl
- Complete a
Bodily Injury/Accident and Sickness Report Form and return
it to Risk
Management Services at the address on the form.
- Because all medical bills are the responsibility of the
individuals injured, they should be
submitted to their own insurance company for payment.
- If the individual’s own health insurance doesn’t pay the
total amount of the bill, submit the following to Risk
Management Services:
• An explanation of benefits from the insurance company and all
other sources showing amount paid.
• Medical bills (copies only)
- If the church might be negligent, the claim will be
submitted to the church’s contracted
adjustor to investigate. The adjuster may take a statement from
all those who may have
knowledge of the incident.
