General Liability Insurance
Umpires who work games in the Long Beach Unit are considered independent contractors. As an independent contractor you are individually responsible for your own actions. The Long Beach Unit does not provide insurance coverage of any kind for umpires assigned to games by the Long Beach Unit. Neither do the schools or any other game participants provide insurance coverage of any kind. Therefore it is your responsibility to provide all insurance.
Typically whatever health care insurance you carry covers you for injuries that may occur on the field. However, you should check with your health care provider to make sure.
On the other hand, any insurance you normally carry typically does NOT cover you for your actions on the the field. The type of insurance that does this is called General Liability insurance. It protects you should you be sued for your actions or inaction on the field for activities incidental to the game of baseball (e.g., player injury, fan injury, etc.). General Liability insurance is typically NOT provided by Homeowner's Insurance or Renters Insurance. Check with your insurance provider to make sure.
Please provide your General Liability insurance carrier information below.
Select one of the following:
- I am a member of the National Association of Sport Officials (NASO)
- I am a member of the National Federation of High Schools Officials Association (NFHS)
