For what is the experience provider liable in accidents and other incidents?
The experience provider is responsible for providing Workers’ Compensation and/or other employment benefits to the student to the extent required by law. Although the law differs from state to state, a general rule of thumb is that if the employer is paying the student, Worker’s Compensation will be in effect. If the employer is not paying the student, then the university’s insurance will cover accidents. This is only a general rule-of-thumb. For more precise information, please refer the provider to his or her state’s Workers’ Compensation program.
