CLAIM FORM INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — It is important that parents/guardians and players note that: Protective equipment cannot
prevent all injuries a player might receive while participating in baseball/softball.
To expedite league personnel’s reporting of injuries, we have prepared guidelines to use as a checklist in completing
reports. It will save time -- and speed your payment of claims.
The National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (NUFIC) Accident Master Policy acquired through
Little League® contains an “Excess Coverage Provision” whereby all personal and/or group insurance shall be used
first.
The Accident Claim Form must be fully completed, including a Social Security Number, for processing.
To help explain insurance coverage to parents/guardians refer to What Parents Should Know on the internet that
should be reproduced on your league’s letterhead and distributed to parents/guardians of all participants at
registration time.
If injuries occur, initially it is necessary to determine whether claimant’s parents/guardians or the claimant has other
insurance such as group, employer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, etc., which pays benefits. (This information should
be obtained at the time of registration prior to tryouts.) If such coverage is provided, the claim must be filed first
with the primary company under which the parent/guardian or claimant is insured.
When filing a claim, all medical costs should be fully itemized and forwarded to Little League International. If no
other insurance is in effect, a letter from the parent/guardian or claimant’s employer explaining the lack of group or
employer insurance should accompany the claim form.
The NUFIC Accident Policy is acquired by leagues, not parents, and provides comprehensive coverage at an
affordable cost. Accident coverage is underwritten by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, a
Pennsylvania Insurance company, with its principal place of business at 175 Water Street, 18th Floor, New York,
NY 10038. It is currently authorized to transact business in all states and the District of Columbia. NAIC Number
19445.This is a brief description of the coverage available under the policy. The policy will contain limitations,
exclusions, and termination provisions. Full details of the coverage are contained in the Policy. If there are any
conflicts between this document and the Policy, the Policy shall govern.
The current insurance rates would not be possible without your help in stressing safety programs at the local level.
The ASAP manual, League Safety Officer Program Kit, is recommended for use by your Safety Officer.
