One million dollars worth of liability insurance for a host of baseball enthusiasts and the insurance coverage is expanding and increasing. There was a time when no player even considered an affordable health insurance plan, but how times have been changing over the years. It is interesting that even the high school teams across the country are either acquiring liability sports insurance or are seriously considering the pros and cons.
However, the times they certainly are changing. Everyone on every level considers himself or herself a professional even when it is nothing more than a high school sports team. Now granted, most of the individuals involved in a team effort are under a regular health insurance policy, so perhaps this is an extra to help defer costs later in life when an injury surfaces.
Okay, so regardless of what level of professional sports you decide to join you are now eligible for a million dollar insurance policy. Remember now this is an additional insurance policy to compliment the regular insurance policy that you have been paying the premiums on for some time now.
This necessary liability insurance policy though will protect you from various unwanted lawsuits and or property damage incurred whether you are playing a home game or at a visitor’s field. The information you need to know is exactly what the coverage involves to make it easy for you to understand.
1. Property damage, liability, and incidental medical malpractice suits
2. Injury and or death of spectators and athletic professional participants
3. The injury or death of volunteers who work the surrounding area of the stadium playing
4. All general negligence claims by spectators, volunteers, or other professionals
5. Professional practice areas or maintenance of playing fields
6. Long-term cost of health care investigations and claims
On the other side there is little to no liability coverage for any insurance claims regarding the following:
1. Gymnastics, trampolines, and waterslides
2. White water rafting, cheerleader pyramiding, and inflatable devices
3. Bicycle tours, Scuba diving, and bungee jumping
4. Motorsports in any form, waterslides, rock climbing, and parachuting
Individual health insurance and liability insurance coverage are also limited to the exclusion of any illegal activity of the insured individual. This carries through to anything outside the sports arena or training the individual is involving with when on personal time. Amazingly enough this also includes the collapse of a temporary structure installed for any particular event the individual decides to participate.
