          Specialized Policy Rolled Out in Five Additional States



    BOSTON, Aug. 25 /
EMWNews
/ -- Liberty Mutual, the nation's eighth

largest car insurer, today announces its new, customized car insurance

policy that provides added coverage and benefits for teachers without

increasing the cost is now available to teachers and school administrators

in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Connecticut, and Kentucky.



    "Teachers -- who we celebrate and reward for their commitment to

educating our children -- have unique insurance needs," said Greg Gordon,

senior vice president of Marketing at Liberty Mutual. "Given that the

average teacher's salary isn't even keeping pace with the rate of

inflation, we've created a package of benefits that doesn't stretch their

pockets."



    Liberty Mutual's customized educators' car insurance policy is for

full-time teachers and administrators at primary or secondary schools and

accredited colleges or universities. Beginning its roll out last month in

Illinois, Minnesota, and Nevada, this customized policy is now available in

eight states with additional states being added throughout the year. The

no- additional-cost features include:



    -- A Collision Deductible Waiver: The customer's deductible is fully

waived if a covered collision loss occurs while traveling on school

business.



    -- A Comprehensive Deductible Waiver: The deductible is fully waived if

the car is vandalized while parked at the school or at a school-sponsored

function.



    -- Personal Property Coverage: Educational materials or school-owned

property stolen from or damaged in the teacher's car are covered at actual

cash value up to $2,500, with a $50 deductible.



    In addition, teachers and administrators who are members of one of

Liberty Mutual's more than 10,000 affinity groups -- including more than

1,200 educational partners -- could qualify for an additional discount. To

learn about the new teacher's car insurance policy or discount eligibility,
