liability & insurance

greenspun.com : LUSENET : AMTNSW : One Thread

Hi,

I am a Student who has almost completed (one exam to go) a Diploma of Sports Therapies with an AMT accredited College. I currently do not not have insurance. I do massage for free for a sporting group & travel with them (unpaid) when they tour. At the Board meeting tonight it was raised as to the liability of the Club if I injure someone who sues the club for authorising me to do massages. So they propose withdrawing their approval for me to do massages. If I have my own insurance do they have a reason to stop the athletes from receiving this service - does anyone else have any experience in this area.

Karen, Having your own insurance should overcome the problem but the final decision is up to the Board. Regards Geof Naughton
