12 Month Insurance and subscriptions to the TAGB and British Taekwondo Council BRITISH TAE KWON-DO COUNCIL LICENCE PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE 12 Month Insurance and subscriptions to the TAGB and British Taekwondo Council BRITISH TAE KWON-DO COUNCIL LICENCE PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE Whilst injuries in Tae Kwon-Do are not quite common place as in other contact sports these can at times, be so serious as to dramatically affect the injured party or even result in death. The natural reaction in such cases is to seek compensation and this will involve court action which may or may not be successful. It is estimated that only one in five such actions results in an award of damages and a seven or eight year delay must be anticipated. Personal accident insurance will provide such automatic compensation without the need to prove that anybody is liable. To provide immediate compensation without need to prove liability or pursue court action The British Tae Kwon-Do Council have arranged Personal Accident Insurance in respect of all members. This should ensure that in the event of death a sum is available to the members direct dependents but where permanent total disablement, such as loss of an eye, a limb, or total inability to pursue an occupation occurs, higher compensation to help rebuild a shattered life is called for. Whilst no amount of compensation can adequately replace the quality of living previously enjoyed, a sensible benefit of around £25,000 is considered suitable. Weekly benefits to assist, but not to replace for the loss of wages is also insured through this particular benefit only applies to people in waged employment. The British Tae Kwon-Do Council considers this fact relative to the ages and employment conditions of their membership and to this end a small degree of assistance is given to students and junior members. The benefits are as follows; Death £5,000 per Insured Person of under 18 years of age £25,000 per Insured Person over 18 years of age Total and Irrecoverable loss of sight in one or both eyes £25,000 Loss of one or two limbs £25,000 Total and Irrecoverable loss of sight of one eye and Loss of one limb £25,000 Permanent Total Disablement Total loss of sight of one or both eyes or loss of limb £25,000 Temporary Total Disablement £5 per week per Insured Person of under 16 years of age. Entitlement o this benefit is to a maximum sum of £250 £60 per week per Insured Person over 16 years of age in full / part time employment. Entitlement to this benefit is dependent upon loss of earnings incurred to a maximum of £60 per week. Maximum sum payable £3,000 £15 per week per Insured Person who is unemployed and students in full time education. Entitlement to this benefit is dependent upon loss of any other benefit / grants due to the injury to a maximum of £15 per week. Maximum sum payable £300 To qualify for any of these benefits you must have been absent from employment or studies for a period of more than two weeks and proof of absence and loss of earnings will need to be supported by official paperwork i.e. Medical Certificates In order for any of the above benefits to be applied, claims should be submitted on an official claims form to the Insurance Officer of the British Tae Kwon-Do Council within 21 days, failure to do so will jeopardise your claim and may result in loss of benefits. Liability Insurance Injury to a third party or damage to property of others could almost automatically result in a claim for damages, such claims and their associated expenses should the case go to court can be very costly.
