What is Covered Under an Occupational Accident Policy?

Occupational Accident is an insurance policy that insures independent contractors against covered injuries that happen in connection with work done with Curri. Occupational Accident provides benefits for medical expenses, disability, loss of life, survivor payments, dismemberment, and paralysis for covered injuries directly caused by an accident on the job.

Do I have to sign up or enroll to be covered?

No - enrollment is required, so you are obtaining benefits during the period you are driving with Curri. You can opt-out of the coverage if you currently have a worker's compensation policy in place already.

Am I Covered Under the Occupational Accident Policy?

If you are a U.S. independent contractor who suffered an injury while performing a service on or after September 16, 2020, you are covered under the policy.

I’ve already provided my services as an independent contractor on the Platform before the Occupational Accident Insurance launch date. Does Occupational Accident Insurance apply to me?

Beginning September 16, 2020, all U.S. independent contractors using the Curri Platform will be automatically covered by Occupational Accident Insurance. This policy does not retroactively provide coverage for covered injuries sustained in an accident prior to the aforementioned effective date.

I was injured while performing a job for a competing service; will this policy cover that?

No. This policy only covers independent contractors while performing a service on the Curri platform.

In the event that I get injured, how do I file a claim?

If you become injured while performing services when on the Curri app, an Occupational Accident Insurance claim will need to be reported immediately. To file a claim, please call the Great American claims call center at 1-800-297-1971, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will be asked to provide your policy number during the call. Please use #OA3431412

They will have the hospital or clinic invoice Great American and they will give you instructions for a prescription medication if needed.

If your injuries require immediate medical attention, please go directly to the nearest hospital/urgent care center for medical treatment or call 911.

I’d like more information, who can I contact?

Feel free to reach out to Bunker and their licensed insurance advisors for more information or a copy of your coverage. They can be reached Monday-Friday, 8 am-5 pm Central

Curri may deduct Occupational Accident Insurance costs from your payment schedule. In the event Curri makes a deduction, it will be displayed for each assignment in the Curri app.
