Frequently Asked Questions - Coverages:
General Liability Insurance
Our General Liability Insurance protects your organization against lawsuits that may arise from various incidents, including bodily injury, property damage, personal and advertising injury, and, where applicable, products and completed operations. It provides liability protection for your sponsored and supervised activities.
Examples of claims covered by our General Liability policy include lawsuits filed by injured participants or members, injured spectators, or third parties seeking damages for alleged liability.
Our General Liability policy is written on an occurrence basis, and the cost of defense is provided outside the limits of liability. Additionally, the coverage includes claims by athletic participants.
Accident Medical Insurance
Our Accident Medical coverage serves as excess/secondary insurance, designed to supplement and coordinate with existing primary medical policies. It offers up to 52 weeks (1 year) of benefits on an excess basis. If no primary plan is in place, such as health insurance, this policy can act as primary coverage, subject to the terms and limitations of the accident policy.
For events, only registered participants who sustain an injury caused by an accident during your sponsored and supervised event are eligible for this coverage. Additionally, at the time of application, you have the option to elect this Excess Accident Medical coverage for any non-participant volunteers.
For clubs, only members of your organization who sustain an injury caused by an accident during a club-sponsored and supervised activity are eligible for this coverage. Non-members who are injured during a club activity are not eligible.
However, please note that the Excess Accident Medical policy does not cover sickness or illness. Certain sub-limits may apply for outpatient hospital miscellaneous expenses, physical therapy, and chiropractic treatment.
