USBC purchases insurance policy to protect lane inspectors
12/23/06
The United States Bowling Congress announced that it has purchased accident insurance coverage to protect lane inspectors while performing lane inspections at bowling centers on behalf of USBC and USBC local associations.
The new policy, which provides accidental death or dismemberment benefits up to $10,000 and excess accidental medical expense benefits up to $25,000, was acquired through The Horton Group in light of Bowling Proprietors' Association of America centers requiring USBC lane inspectors to sign a release form prior to conducting bowling lane inspections as a result of a recent lawsuit.
"The purchase of accident insurance to protect our more than 50,000 volunteers who work at the local level is a small price to pay considering the value they bring to the organization," said USBC Chief Executive Officer Roger Dalkin. "It also demonstrates to organizations like BPAA and our associations that the USBC is committed to building the business of bowling together."
Coverage only applies when accidental bodily injury results in a covered loss while the lane inspector is conducting lane inspections at bowling centers on behalf of USBC and USBC local associations. A maximum insurance limit of $50,000 for all coverage applies per accident.
