Student Athlete Accident & Catastrophic Insurance
Accident and catastrophic insurance options can help address eligible student-athlete injuries, subject to plan terms, benefit structure, participant eligibility, activities, and carrier availability.
Coverage built around the athletic program.
The insurance need starts with the people and activities behind the program — athlete count, ages or grades, sports, seasons, practices, games, travel, camps, and coverage already in place.
Three different insurance questions.
Student-athlete programs may need to consider more than one type of coverage. The right structure depends on the organization, program design, existing coverage, requested benefits, and carrier availability.
Student-Athlete Accident
Coverage designed for eligible injuries occurring within a defined athletic program, subject to plan terms, benefits, exclusions, and eligibility rules.
Catastrophic Coverage
Higher-severity accident benefit options may be available depending on the program, benefit structure, and carrier.
General Liability
General liability addresses different third-party claims and exposures and should not be treated as interchangeable with athletic accident coverage.
Game day is only one part of the season.
Practices, conditioning, games, tournaments, camps, travel, and off-season activity can all be part of the athletic program. The coverage request should match what athletes actually participate in throughout the year.
Accident coverage and general liability solve different problems.
A school or organization may need to consider both depending on its program. They should not be treated as interchangeable coverage.
Eligible participant injuries
Designed around covered athletes and eligible injuries according to the plan's terms, benefit structure, exclusions, and eligibility rules.
- Participant-focused coverage
- Plan benefits and eligibility matter
- Existing athletic or medical coverage should be considered
Third-party claims and exposures
Addresses a different set of claims arising from covered operations and does not replace an athletic accident plan.
- Different claim type
- Not a substitute for accident coverage
- May still be relevant to the organization
