Sport Accident & Liability Insurance

 
This summary is intended to give an overview of the coverage provided to you through the Volleyball Canada National Insurance Policy. It is not intended to indicate the full conditions, terms or exclusion of the Policy.  A copy of our insurance is located in the Appendix of our Operational Manual which is located at Volleyball PEI.

Sport Accident Insurance  

Sport Accident coverage applies within Canada only. Coverage extends to accidental bodily injury or death sustained by an Insured due to external violent, sudden, fortuitous causes beyond the Insured’s control, occurring while the insurance is in force while participating in sanctioned Association events.
**Travel Medical Insurance must be purchased for any out of country exposure.**

How long do I have to report a Sport Accident Claim?

You have up to 180 days to report a Sport Accident claim, but you should report as soon as possible by submitting the “Athlete Accident Claim Form” to the Volleyball PEI cgcrozier@sportpei.pe.ca  who will then forward to Brokerlink Inc. Insurance to have your claim registered and to open your claim file. By opening a claim early, it enables Brokerlink Inc. to start their process and have the claim noted to ensure our coverage will respond when/if needed. You do not have to wait for all your receipts before submitting a claim. Once your claim file has been opened, any receipts can be submitted on an ongoing basis up to one year after the accident date.

If I have other insurance do I submit my receipts to that company first?

YES, any provincial health insurance or employee benefits insurance plan would be PRIMARY to the Association’s Sport Accident insurance. Therefore, you should submit your receipts to that plan first, but do complete and send the “Athlete Accident Claim Form” to Volleyball PEI cgcrozier@sportpei.pe.ca within 180 days to have the claim registered and forwarded to our insurance department – Brokerlink Inc. Insurance claims handling department. Question #10 on the form asks if there is any other insurance in force. This will indicate to K & K that the balance of the receipts not paid by the primary insurer will be forwarded once all other insurance is exhausted.

How long can I claim medical expenses for a sport accident injury?

Up to one year from the date of the accident.

Why Liability Insurance?

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.

Who is Insured?

Volleyball PEI's Commercial Liability Policy and Sports Accident Policy covers our Registered Members (Athletes, Board Members, Coaches, Managers, Referees, Staff & Volunteers) throughout the membership year (September 1 – August 31) but only while acting within the scope of their duties on behalf of Volleyball Canada; Volleyball PEI and affiliated Clubs/Teams.  Spectators are also covered under both the Commercial Liability Policy and Sports Accident Policy.

Activities Covered

Members are covered while participating in Provincial and National sanctioned or approved events. These may include competitive or recreational and related activities. (i.e. Provincial and National championships and Sanctioned tournaments, clinics, camps and social activities/awards banquet).

Sanctioned Events

Volleyball PEI clubs (in good standing) wanting their event sanctioned (thereby ensuring Volleyball PEI members participating in the event are covered under the Volleyball PEI insurance plan) will be required to pay a $25 fee to sanction their clubs. These club events can then be listed as SANCTIONED on our website and a Certificate of Insurance can be provided upon request. In order for Volleyball PEI to sanction your event, the organizer must ensure that all participants be registered Volleyball Canada Members on the VRS. All other events will be listed as NON-Sanctioned and are not covered under our Accident and Liability Plan.

Certificate of Insurance (COI)

Volleyball PEI requires all clubs and leagues to register with Volleyball PEI and Volleyball Canada prior to issuing Certificates of Insurance. We ask that the Club Contact/President of your club complete the online Volleyball PEI Club President Registration form. Once this form has been submitted and fees paid (Club President Membership role), we will be able to verify this information and email you your club/league Certificate of Insurance for the season.
