Professional & Amateur Racer Liability Insurance
Whether by car, boat, or motorcycle both amateur and professional racing are continuing to grow in popularity as more and more people not only start participating but also start watching from the sidelines. It’s easy for racers to focus on just the race and beating the competition, but with every mile per hour increase in speed comes an increase in responsibility for the driver. Not only is the racer putting their own health and life at risk, but they are also putting the well-being and health of all the spectators at risk as well. With every crash comes the chances of injury and with debris flying everywhere, it’s very easy for a spectator to get injured, especially on an amateur racing track where safety measures are not as well crafted as on professional tracks.
This is why it’s important for every racer, whether it’s a racecar, boat, or motorcycle to make sure they have the extra liability protection that comes with racer insurance coverage. Even if you’re just competing in a small amateur race with very few spectators there, you never know when a bystander might get injured and try to hold you in accountable. It’s very easy for liability lawsuits like this be to filed against racers given the nature of the sport, but that doesn’t mean you can’t protect yourself with proper racer liability insurance.
