Personal Injury


Employees

All accidents and injuries occurring at work or in the course of employment must be reported to the employee's supervisor, even if no medical attention is required. The supervisor and/or employee are responsible for completing a First Report of Injury (FROI) in the ISU Incident Portal.

Contact University Human Resources (UHR) for workers' compensation information and questions.


Students

ISU students who sustain an injury or illness at work or in the course of university employment are typically covered under workers' compensation and should follow the reporting instructions in the Employees section above.

All accidents and injuries sustained by ISU students while in academic classes or university-sponsored events must be reported to the Office of Risk Management (ORM) by the student or a university representative.


Others

For non-employee, non-student personal injury, claims are processed against the State of Iowa under the Iowa Tort Claims Act (Iowa Code § 669). Contact us for additional information and to request a copy of the State Appeal Board Claim Form and Affidavit.


Auto Accidents/Incidents Involving ISU, Rental, or Private Vehicles
