samyueru 0 #1 September 8, 2004 Hey everyone - I'm taking a class this semester where I have to write a pretty big position paper to change some sort of issue. I was thinking of writing about how difficult it is for DZ's to get decent insurance policies and how (and why) it should be changed... Anyone know any decent resources/stories I should look at for some basic research? Thanks!! -Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 0 #2 September 8, 2004 Interesting but what is there to change? It is a high liability and hence high cost propostion. You can't change the economics of the situation."We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

FrogNog 1 #3 September 8, 2004 Maybe you could work backwards from there a bit and look at tort reform. Part of the reason DZs don't have insurance is they don't want to say "here is a big fat purse for you to sue for if something goes wrong." The insurance companies agree. -=-=-=-=- Pull.

firstime 0 #4 September 9, 2004 I am in the Ins biz and have had high school kids cal me for doing a paper regarding biz Ins. The Lloyds will insure just about any risk. Write or email them as a perspective DZ owner and you should get a response. If ins were required I am am sure Tandems would be approx $500 per jump. Then we as skydivers would be non exisitant.
