League and Team Accidental Insurance

A comprehensive medical individual health insurance plan to assist in paying for the unknown mishaps that do occur during any sports event is a great idea. How many times have individuals participated either as a spectator or a participant and become injured. Unexpected injuries also occur in motor sports as well. The main difference is that most motorsports events involve private property. In this case the individual’s spectators make aware they are responsible for their own safety.

There was an individual who while driving around the track in a motor race, blew a tire and hit the wall. The racing car became a ball of flames and as it slid along the wall and down the track, flames, fuel, and small pieces of tire flung everywhere. Luckily, there were no injuries to the driver, pit crews, or spectators. This is where a blanket health insurance and general liability insurance policy comes in handy.

Even though all participants are aware they are responsible for themselves, team members and owners of the various facilities do help. This pertains as well to other sports activities as well:

1. Basketball, Archery, Golf, and Badminton

2. Football, Field Hockey, Track, and Fencing

3. Weightlifting, Bowling, Handball, and Rowing

4. Swimming, Tennis, and Volleyball
