Liability Insurance

The State of California has been self-insured for its motor vehicle liability risks under the State Motor Vehicle Liability Self-Insurance Program (VELSIP) since 1977. The Office of Risk and Insurance Management (ORIM) administers this formal self-insurance program that duplicates most functions of automobile insurance companies.

Personal liability insurance is primary coverage when an accident occurs affecting a private vehicle during official state business. The SMVIA will provide coverage only after the private carrier’s policy limits are exhausted by payment.

Rental vehicles rented from one of the approved state contract rental car companies are covered for up to $500,000 in liability insurance. After that, the SMVIA insurance pool provides coverage. Student Travel Insurance

Cal State East Bay students are covered for accidents and related medical care while traveling to or from or participating in (excluding athletics) mandatory or sponsored university activity. Personal insurance is considered primary. (See Risk Management - Insurance - Student Travel Accident Insurance
