Specialty Insurance Coverages
Accident, Liability & Abuse for
Camps, Clinics & Conferences
In the past, insurance coverage for conferences, sports camps and clinics was either too costly, too limited or not available at all. Schools, coaches and directors were either forced to pay extremely high insurance premiums, or to run camps and clinics without the proper insurance protection, therefore running the risk of personal exposure to lawsuits or a participant's injury claim.
However, this specialty insurance program has recently been developed to cover the inherent risks involved for the schools, park districts, coaches, directors and participants of today’s conferences, sports camps and clinics. Accident and liability insurance coverage is offered as a standard product with optional coverage also available such as equipment, hired and non-owned automobile, and additional higher liability insurance limits.

Medical Expense Benefit
If the Covered Person incurs eligible expenses as the direct result of a covered injury and independent of all other causes, the Company will pay the charges incurred for such expense within 365 days, beginning on the date of the accident. Payment will be made for eligible expenses in excess of the applicable $100 Deductible Amount, not to exceed the Maximum Medical Benefit.
