Loss Control

The Office of Compliance and Risk Management (OCRM) coordinates property loss claims on behalf of UW-Whitewater. The current property loss deductibles are $1,000 for damaged or destroyed items, $1,000 for stolen property involving forced entry, and $2,500 for stolen property where there was no evidence of forced entry.

To report an incident and request an insurance reimbursement for a property loss, the following steps must be completed:

• Complete the General Accident Report
• Complete a Lightning Losses Affidavit, if applicable
• Provide a copy of your department inventory identifying the items to be repaired or replaced, and/or the purchase order or requisition number used to purchase the item.
• Provide a police report for stolen or vandalized items
• Submit a replacement quote or a repair estimate for the damaged property. Two (2) quotes or estimates are required for any property loss estimated to meet or exceed $2,500.

Once all required documentation is complete, submit the materials to ocrm@uww.edu. OCRM will review the claim and work with the UW System Office of Risk Management and the State of Wisconsin Bureau of State Risk Management to process the reimbursement.
