BOSTON, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Mutual, the nation's eighth
largest car insurer, today announces its new, customized car insurance policy
that provides added coverage and benefits for teachers without increasing the
cost is now available to teachers and school administrators in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Connecticut, and Kentucky.
"Teachers -- who we celebrate and reward for their commitment to educating
our children -- have unique insurance needs," said Greg Gordon, senior vice
president of Marketing at Liberty Mutual. "Given that the average teacher's
salary isn't even keeping pace with the rate of inflation, we've created a
package of benefits that doesn't stretch their pockets."
Liberty Mutual's customized educators' car insurance policy is for
full-time teachers and administrators at primary or secondary schools and
accredited colleges or universities. Beginning its roll out last month in
Illinois, Minnesota, and Nevada, this customized policy is now available in
eight states with additional states being added throughout the year. The no-
additional-cost features include:
-- A Collision Deductible Waiver: The customer's deductible is fully
waived if a covered collision loss occurs while traveling on school business.
-- A Comprehensive Deductible Waiver: The deductible is fully waived if
the car is vandalized while parked at the school or at a school-sponsored
function.
-- Personal Property Coverage: Educational materials or school-owned
property stolen from or damaged in the teacher's car are covered at actual
cash value up to $2,500, with a $50 deductible.
In addition, teachers and administrators who are members of one of Liberty
Mutual's more than 10,000 affinity groups -- including more than 1,200
educational partners -- could qualify for an additional discount. To learn
