What are some parameters for this type of coverage?

This insurance coverage provides liability protection for sports tournaments, exhibitions and events. Coverage includes participant legal liability, which is a critical component to protect the insured when a player holds the insured responsible for an injury. Many insurance policies exclude this coverage, which leaves a major gap in coverage and creates an unnecessary exposure for the insured. Additional coverage options include accident medical insurance to cover medical bills for participant injuries that occur during the insured’s organized activities. Tournament and event directors can rest easy when coverage is purchased through American Specialty Express. Not only are they getting the best coverage, but they’re getting it at an affordable price.

What are some general examples of when this coverage might be used?

Scenario 1: Club soccer tournaments are a fun and popular activity for children of all ages. During one particularly competitive game, a 16-year-old sprints after a wild kick and runs into an 8-year-old on an adjacent field. Both players suffer moderate injuries, and both families claim the fields were too close together with no preventative measures in place. The younger player's family settles for ticket and tournament fee reimbursements, while the older player's family hires an attorney and demands $75,000 as reimbursement for medical bills, pain and suffering and the loss of a college scholarship. Receiving a demand from a plaintiff’s attorney is not a pleasant experience, and the tournament organizer is relieved to send the matter to American Specialty to handle.

Scenario 2: It’s a packed house at the regional teen bowling competition. In a heated battle for a trip to the finals, the ball slips out of a bowler’s hand and lands directly on the foot of a nearby spectator. The spectator is taken to the emergency room and undergoes a significant surgical operation. The event manager soon receives a claim for $35,000 of medical bills—a harsh reality after an otherwise very successful event. The manager quickly remembers the policy he purchased through American Specialty Express and forwards the claim to American Specialty’s skilled claims adjusters.
