IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Participants Legal Liability provides coverage for claims you are legally obligated to pay because of actions brought against you, the Named Insured, by players and/or other participant's. Participant means any player, coach, manager, staff member, team worker, official, media personnel, cheerleader, or band member practicing for, or participating in, the sporting event. This means all of your team members and players and any participating non members! Participant liability insurance, like all liability policies, would provide coverage to the injured party only if the Tenant Holder listed as the insured in the Certificate of Insurance issued to the Tenant User were liable.

****Failure to comply with one, or both, of the following requirements will affect Participant Legal Liability in place for any event even if a Certificate of Insurance is provided.****

Depending on the type of event for which you are applying for coverage, you may be required to have Accident Medical Coverage in place. Examples of participant events that will require Accident Medical Coverage are basketball, dance performances/competitions, baseball, cheerleading and football (both contact and non-contact). Examples of events that do not require Accident Medical Coverage in place are association, civic club and business meetings. Read below for further information, and click on the Accident/Medical link on the first page of your event liability insurance application to confirm if your event requires Accident Medical Coverage.

If your event involves participants (i.e. a sporting event), you must have Accident Medical coverage in force. Please visit the Accident Medical product page on this website for additional information about how to apply for a quote.

You must also have a Waiver and Release form system that is regularly maintained. This system must secure and maintain properly executed Waiver and Release forms for all participants. For minor participants (under eighteen years of age) you must always secure and maintain properly executed Minor Waiver and Release forms signed by the parent or legal guardian.
