EXCESS INSURANCE PURCHASED
MIRMA purchases reinsurance or excess insurance for all lines of coverage provided, with the exception of Crime and Employment Practices Liability. This is done so no single catastrophic loss can damage the financial integrity of MIRMA.
CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION
Claims are managed by MIRMA staff, utilizing a claims administration system called Origami.
Airport Liability coverage is provided by group purchase policies, of which the carrier administers the claims directly.
MIRMA’s philosophy in administering claims is to accurately assess the liability for and the value of all claims. We vigorously defend those claims for which there is no liability and look to expeditiously and fairly settle those claims for which liability exists. MIRMA does not settle claims based solely on the most economical option available.
While MIRMA reserves the right to handle, defend or settle all claims, MIRMA welcomes the city’s input on all claims. Because personnel items can be very sensitive, MIRMA will get the approval of the involved city before settling any employment practices liability claim.
