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. ,
