Personal Accident Insurance: Playing or participating in any sporting activity carries its own risks. Martial Arts is a contact sport and accidents happen, with potentially devastating effects. Personal Accident Insurance is readily available and Members are encouraged to take responsibility for their own personal circumstances and consider purchasing a tailor made, individual personal accident policy, to protect their income and assets in the event of an injury sustained whilst participating in their chosen martial art. Participant to Participant v Member to Member Insurance. Under the PL/PI Insurance are Clubs and Members covered for Participant to Participant Liability and/or Member to Member Liability and what is the difference?
Participant to Participant: The policy excludes any Personal Injury caused and/or contributed to, by any participant in a bout, sparring or any other contact situation, to another participant. Participant to Participant is the Liability of one Participant to another e.g. a Participant injures an opponent in a bout, sparring or contact situation and as a result, the opponent brings an action against them. This is NOT covered. Member to Member: A Member is defined as any member, temporary player or other person actively engaged in and appropriately registered for the purpose of taking part in the insured martial art. Member to Member cover is the liability of one Member to another Member, when they are NOT participating in a contact situation within the insured martial art e.g. a member accidentally shuts another member’s fingers in the door of the dressing room. So, in summary, Member to Member Liability is covered but Participant to Participant Liability is excluded. Note: Whilst Participant to Participant liability is specifically excluded, an injured opponent still has the opportunity to bring an action against the Club and/or an Instructor at the Club, in a bid to secure compensation for his/her injuries, however, in order to be successful they must provide proof that their injury was caused as a result of a negligent act by the Club and/or Instructor.
