Campus Crime Statistics Show There Is A Growing Need For Student Property Protection
ROSWELL, Ga.--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct 25, 2002--College Student Insurance announces a ''ring-of-protection'' to prevent student property loss on campus. Their aim is to help prevent loss, protect students if a loss occurs, and to recover property if it is stolen. This prevent, protect & recover approach is an easy individual Risk Management system for students looking for solutions to keeping their valuables safe.
The cornerstone of CSI`s program is a personal property insurance policy underwritten by Fireman`s Fund Insurance Company. FFIC was the first company to offer students Replacement Cost Coverage. Policy deductibles are as low as $25 and annual premiums as low as $36. A very low price to protect the big investment parents make in student property.
Colleges reported over 114,000 property crimes for the year 2000. It is estimated that unreported crimes would bring that number to nearly 190,000 for the year. In addition, fires in college living quarters average just under 1800 per year.
If accidental damage is included, estimates suggest students suffer approximately 532,000 property losses per year. That is over 1,400 per day, every day of the year.
Most students now use computers having an average value, with accessories, of approximately $2,400. And the average range of all property students bring to school is between $5,000 and $10,000.
Students face a significant risk of property loss due to the shared living environment on college campuses. CSI, https://www.CollegeStudentInsurance.com/, addresses this risk with their ''ring-of-protection.'' This is a comprehensive approach which helps reduce these risks with a special property identification system using both visible and invisible marking tools, a computer tracking system that identifies the physical location of a computer, aiding in recovery in the event it is stolen, and the worldwide insurance protection from Fireman`s Fund.
''There is no other company today offering protection as comprehensive nor as effective for student property,'' said John Carr, founder and president of CSI Insurance Agency, Inc. ''We cover things that are excluded under standard homeowner policies, and do this at a cost far less than the homeowner policy deductible.''
