While the
skateparks of most municipalities and public entities are shielded from
liability by both law and existing insurance, there are significant benefits to
specialty skatepark insurance.
The
Action Park Alliance has worked closely with the major underwriters of skatepark
insurance to create programs that make sense and are cost-effective. Our
proprietary Risk Assessment program is used through-out the industry to
calculate liability.
The
insurance program currently offered through the Action Park Alliance has two
important benefits:
1.The insurance acts as gap insurance, covering the large deductible
typical of municipal insurance.
2.The insurance provides coverage of medical costs for uninsured users.
Parents of uninsured youth seeking to recover these medical costs are the
primary group filing lawsuits against municipalities over skatepark injuries.
This means that a broken arm or chipped tooth will not lead to costly and
time-consuming litigation.
