Policy Overview

<p><strong>Types Of Insurance Included In Membership</strong>&nbsp;</p><h4>SPORT GENERAL LIABILITY</h4><p>Because no matter how careful you are, accidents happen, and you can be sued by anyone who claims injury or damages resulting from your activities. You may not be liable, but you will need to be defended in court. A liability policy will pay for this defence as well as any costs awarded against you. In short, liability insurance gives you peace of mind. The policy will pay those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as compensatory damages because of bodily injury to or damage to property of others such as participants, spectators, property of lessors, and others resulting from your operations only. Coverage includes your participants&rsquo; liability.</p><h4>ACCIDENTAL DEATH &amp; DISMEMBERMENT</h4><p>AD&amp;D insurance helps to ensure protection for a member and their family in the event of an accident that results in death or serious injury. The benefit amount that is paid will depend upon the type of injury. The more serious the injury or accident, the greater the payment will be. AD&amp;D coverage is one more informed way to help ensure financial protection is available for members and their loved ones.</p><p>Please click the document below which indicates the province you are registered in for more information.</p><p><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/7128fbf6e57a3da9a890d26644073166010b899d.pdf"></a><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/fb7d81004113cfce619cfad3397f7be7c1aa06dc.pdf">General Members 2018-2019 ON, QC, NB, NFL.pdf</a></p><p><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/ee6dd5bee0b379e94cc8eab67a1afecd89039ba2.pdf"></a><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/c3c4f219b9e27f5c0f99454b42964269d7e88685.pdf">General Members 2018-2019 ON, QC, NB, NFL (French).pdf</a></p><p><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/23d69fd5c4cb34960e1b613ac73a702870513ab7.pdf"></a><a class="fr-file" href="http://sportlomo-userupload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaded/galleries/13767_uploaded/de09bb10559c565e6dd2212f096c6a582674d33e.pdf">General Members 2018-2019 BC, AB, MB, NS, PEI, SK.pdf</a></p><p><br></p><h4>TRAVEL MEDICAL</h4><p>Registered participants of member organizations who receive sanctioning from their Provincial Union and Rugby Canada will receive worldwide Emergency Travel Medical coverage up to $1,000,000 per Insured Member per trip.
