Summer Activities Insurance
Summer is full of fun activities, but have you ever thought about whether injuries would be covered by your insurance policy?
Participating in different sports and activities can put you at risk for head, foot, ankle and arm injuries, among others.
If you got injured while doing an activity like kayaking, a scenic gondola ride, mini-golf, or bungee jumping – whose insurance would cover your injury
Commercial insurance
If you are injured doing something like going on a scenic gondola or chairlift ride, the company that owns it will probably be liable to some extent, but the process of getting compensation could be drawn out and complicated.
If, on the other hand, you own a business that provides summertime activities like mini-golf, kayaking, rafting, or bungee jumping, you will need proper commercial insurance for your industry to be covered if any guests are injured.
Provincial insurance
If you are injured doing a summer activity like kayaking on your own, your provincial insurance will cover you but may not cover all costs associated with your injury.
Travel insurance
If you are injured while doing a summer activity when traveling, you may need extreme sports travel insurance to be covered. Travel insurance medical coverage generally does not cover extreme sports like bungee jumping, so you will need additional coverage before you head out.
