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.

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