USCA
Announces Discounts and Maintains Coverage
For 2008 Event Liability Insurance Program
For Immediate Release Tarpon Springs, Florida – 1/13/08
The United States Canoe Association at
its 40th Annual meeting, voted to offer significant discounts
to its canoe & kayak, outrigger, dragon boat, and indoor ergometer racing
insurance rates for 2008. The USCA decided to reduce it's already
competitive event insurance rate to $3.75
for all non cruising events and $3.50 for cruises.
The USCA also
announced that the program has maintained the program's enhanced coverage
of $1,000,000 per
occurrence, with a $2,000,000 aggregate. The USCA event liability program offers a total of $2,000,000 liability per event.
The USCA Insurance
program has been a leader in the paddlesports field since its inception in
1988. It has proven to be a great asset for event organizers and
promoters, enabling many races, festivals, on-water demos, and clinics to
continue in the face of rising liability insurance premiums. The
program is one of the broadest available in the industry, including
coverage for non-owned and hired automobiles and does not contain athletic
participant exclusions that many other available plans have. The USCA has
been able to pass along reduced costs for additional insured certificates
and continues not charging application fees. For further information,
please contact the USCA insurance administrator Jacka-Liquori Agency, at
(631) 269-9696 or at
MariaL@jacka-liquori.com.
The following pages contain a step by step
guide for event hosting. The USCA has tried to make these forms as simple
as possible and keep your cost to a minimum.
