Need Insurance?
I received an email earlier in the week from a guy called James Agus, from Combined Insurance Company of America, offering to sell us team/individual sports insurance. I didn't want him to waste time coming to one of our rides in case there were only 2 people there, so I offered to post his information up on here - if anyone is interested in this kind of insurance, you can contact him on the number below.
"We deal with alot of sports teams in the area, providing them with accident and hospitalisation cover.We specialise in day 1 accident and hospitalisation cover.....Now this is something we do for all the Leeds Rhino's lads, Leeds united academy,The yorkshire rams,all the local football and rugby teams, and im now trying to get it known in the cycling world too, as i feel it would benifit you grately, as im sure you agree MTB/cycling is a very high risk sport.
The cover does cover you from day one and does cover you for any accidental circumstance,so not only does it cover you in sport, but also at work...home...at play....or for any other accidental circumstance. Basically you are covered for anything, with no restrictions.
Please read the following as i feel you will agree the cover is excellent. The cover: Any accident £140 per day hospitalisation (pays from day 1 and will pay upto a lifetime if need be) £980 per week £4200 per month £100 per day convalescence (at twice the number of days you were in hospital) £700 a week £3000 a month £1000 any major fracture £200 any minor fracture (fingers, thumbs, nose, or toes) Fracture benefits are payable in addition to hospital, convalescence and hospital surgical procedures benefit. £500 any surgical procedure £20000 loss of life
Example of how policy works: say you had a bad break, was in hospital a month and needed 2 operations. We would pay you; £4200 hospitalisation £6000 convalescence £1000 fracture £500 for each operation (total £1000) TOTAL PAID OUT: £12,200
WE COVER ANY ACCIDENT: for example...
- Should you be struck,knocked down or run over.
- Or whilst driving or riding in any car, van, bus, taxi or lorry
- Whilst driving or riding on any motorscooter, bicycle, motorcycle or moped
- At the hand of a burglar, mugger or robber, or by personal assault -Injuies caused by fire or suffocation by smoke or by drowning
- Or playing any sport or taking part in any recreational activity.
It also covers you in all european countries, the United States of America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
The cost of this policy is just £4.78 per week. If possible, i would like to come down to one of your meets to tell the team about the cover we provide, and if anyone is interested i will take there name and no. and see them in there own time. That way i wont interfere with any of your training. I would be very gratefull for this. Would this be posible? If so please would you email me, or contact me on 07525809432. Thank you. Yours in sport James Agus"
Please note: NLMTB has no policy on insurance. While we do not require it, if you wish to take out an insurance policy, please feel free to do so.
