What are some parameters for this type of coverage?

Coverage is provided for an annual term with up to a $3,000,000 limit.

What are general examples of when this coverage would be used?

Here’s an example of a potential scenario where sports instructors insurance would provide protection:

Scenario 1: The fitness studio’s private lifting lessons are consistently popular among high school athletes. One particularly elite athlete is excelling at a high rate and wants to try a new, more difficult lift. After practicing the move with just bodyweight, the athlete and instructor add weight to a barbell and the athlete attempts the lift again. He is in immediate pain, and his resulting strained quadricep requires extensive physical therapy. Two months later, the sports instructor receives a claim for the athlete’s medical bills totaling $7,000. The athlete’s lawyer claims the injury was the result of a limited warm-up and inadequate preparation for performing the new skill. Thanks to the insurance policy he purchased through American Specialty Express, the sports instructor is able to quickly forward the claim to our team of claims experts.
