The answers to everyday insurance problems ie By Sid Boise QUESTION: While ot a fishing trip last fall, I was casting and accidentally snagged a friend in the back of the neck. The hook had to be cut out and though the wound was painful, it wasn't at first serious. Later, however, it became infected and as I ' insisted on footing the medical bills, I paid dearly for my carelessness. I've been told that there is a form of insur ance which covers this sort of accident and I would like to know what it is and how ex pensive it is. ANSWER: The insurance cov erage to which you refer is given by a Comprehensive Per sonal Liability policy. The pre mium is very small and the policy covers your own legal liability and that of your wife and all minor children. Injur ies caused by sports accidents are specifically covered. x r ir If youll address your own insurance questions to this of fice, we'll try to give you the correct answers and there will be ne charge or ebllgation of any kind. , ini !ifl9i J7J N.
