A.M. Best and Best’s Insurance Professionals and Claims
Resource have released the latest installment of the Insurance Law
Podcast, a series that examines timely insurance and claims issues
from a legal point of view.
This episode features Attorney Al Goldberger from the Law
Offices of Alan S. Goldberger in Florham Park, NJ. Mr. Goldberger
is a nationally recognized authority on sports law and officiating,
a former NCAA basketball official and baseball umpire and high
school football official. He is the author of Sports Officiating: A
Legal Guide, and counsels clients nationwide in sports and athletic
risk management and liability defense.
The podcast discusses active areas of risk in interscholastic
sports, and how carriers are responding to claims involving
injuries resulting from assaults and other intentional acts. Risks
include aggressive play, failure to teach fundamental techniques,
faulty or inappropriate equipment and improper injury response,
including failure to recognize potential concussions.
Administrators need to be aware of the conduct that leads to
limitations in claims coverage, such as assault and other
intentional torts on the playing field, and develop and enforce
effective protocols to minimize risk.
The Law Offices of Alan S. Goldberger is a Qualified Member of
Best's Recommended Insurance Attorneys, a claims industry resource
that has featured qualified legal counsel, independent insurance
adjusting services and expert service providers since 1929.
