PALESTRA College of Physical Education and Sport, spol. s r.o. (hereinafter referred to as "PALESTRA College of Physical Education and Sport") has an insurance policy for liability for damage to property or health. The cover under this policy applies in cases where injury or property damage is caused by the fault of the school or its employees, e.g. a teacher incorrectly instructs students during a lesson and an injury occurs as a result of his/her actions.

This insurance does not cover injuries not caused by the employee (teacher), e.g. falling down stairs, injuries during teaching not caused by the teacher, loss of property

We therefore recommend that students take out a separate insurance policy to cover accident insurance, property damage, or a separate civil liability policy.
