Most cyclists never think about the need for liability insurance.
But if you are ever judged to be even partially responsible for a
cycling accident involving property damage or personal injury, you
could be in serious financial difficulties. Would you drive a car
without liability insurance? You are covered as soon as you join one
of the SCA's affiliated clubs and pay your SCA membership fee.
Comprehensive general liability coverage of up to $5,000,000
Sport Accident Coverage: - Member coverage for accidents in Canada
while involved in sanctioned/approved cycling activity. - This is
an 'excess' policy, meaning that it covers costs above and beyond
what is covered by Canadian Healthcare and any form of private insurance.
- There is a schedule of maximum payouts for specified injuries and
loss to a maximum of $50,000. No decidable. - $1,000,000 is the aggregate
maximum for loss associated with a single accident. (eg. An accident
involving a vehicle with multiple occupants). - Eligibility - members
must have access to Canadian Healthcare.
If you require excess medical coverage because you are racing out
of country, you should contact the SCA, there is a fee that will be
levied based on the amount of days outside the country.
