Risk Management

Report any loss or incident immediately!

General liability claims usually involve damage to personal property or injury and related medical expenses to third parties, such as the public, students, or visitors. This type of claim is filed against the State of Oregon directly with the Department of Administrative Services Risk Management Division (DAS-RMD). For more information refer to: http://oregon.gov/DAS/SSD/Risk

The Office of Risk Management at OSU is not authorized to file claims involving liability for third parties. The party making the claim must write a letter giving date, time, place, circumstances and the estimate of their damages. Include contact information such as an address and phone number.
