Risk Management is the state's manager for self-insurance, insurance and risk control. Our primary goal is to assist state government with avoiding unnecessary costs of loss while achieving its mission. The major kinds of loss we work to prevent or pay include: employee injuries; loss to state buildings, contents and vehicles; employee theft or dishonesty and tort liability claims alleging the failure of state agencies or employees to perform duties owed by law. These include negligence and almost anything the state can do or fail to do that causes persons or their property harm.
