Liability
Insurance for your league and organization are a must. We live in an
extremely litigious society and must constantly protect ourselves
against litigation as a result of our volunteer activities. Whether
we like it or not, our courts have made us responsible, and we do
need protection.
Entities which allow us to use
their facilities (schools, towns, fraternal organizations and the
like) also require that we be insured, and provide them with
certificates of insurance with them as an “additional named
insured”.
For many years these entities
required a $1,000,000 liability policy. Most now are requiring
$2,000,000.
Other areas in which we need
protection, and hence, must be covered by the liability policy are
host liquor liability (in the event we sponsor dinners or dances
which include liquor); products liability; non-owned auto coverage;
and consider the potential need for sexual molestation coverage.
We
can provide up to $2,000,000 coverage with all the above coverage's
available.
THINGS
TO BE CAREFUL OF WHEN SELECTING LIABILITY COVERAGE
1)
Policy should be on
“Occurrence” basis; NOT “CLAIMS MADE”—VERY IMPORTANT.
2)
Policy should have
all coverage's desired available, even if optional.
3)
Determine the level
of accident insurance coverage required by the plan (all these
liability policies require underlying accident insurance).
4)
Be sure that there
is no athletic participation exclusion. VERY IMPORTANT!
