Sports and recreational activities are supposed to be fun, and they are. They're also risky, and even the most experienced and careful participant can suddenly be facing danger. Insuring the myriad exposures involved in amateur sports and recreation presents its own set of challenges, and a key player in that endeavor is the Philadelphia Insurance Cos. On the general liability side, Philadelphia Insurance offers limits up to $3 million aggregate and also writes premises liability, personal injury liability, directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, special events coverage, liquor liability, and abuse and molestation liability. Philadelphia Insurance provides a full range of property coverages to amateur sports facilities, says John Doyle, VP-underwriting. With an...
