Urban Academy

Featured Business: Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh

In a school with a large staff and many students, accidents can happen. K. Chase Patterson, CEO of Urban Academy, is thankful they have the insurance coverage they need from AmTrust to stay protected. Together with their account executive from Sovereign Insurance Group, Stephanie Hass, they rely on AmTrust as the third largest workers’ comp carrier in the country and the number one insurance carrier for their insureds. And that’s why Urban Academy is protected with insurance for schools from AmTrust.

Insurance for Schools: Why is it Important?

The educational sector faces a variety of workplace risks, ranging from workers’ compensation injuries to employment practice exposures. Teachers, students, food service and building maintenance staff are all subject to hazards. School property can also represent another set of insurance risks. From ergonomic injuries like muscle strains to workplace violence and wrongful termination claims, educational institutions need the right insurance coverage to protect their workforce, students and property.

Our school insurance coverage is tailored to the needs of different types of educational institutions, from private and charter schools to religiously-affiliated schools.
