Sports equipment installed in public spaces must meet high safety standards to protect its users. The Allianz Sports Equipment Insurance, available through Allianz and brokered by R2 Seguros, was developed to provide financial protection for the entities responsible for the installation, maintenance, and use of this equipment, ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
The use of goalposts, basketball backboards, and other sports equipment can lead to accidents with serious consequences. Whenever the managing entity is held liable, the costs associated with compensation claims can be high. Allianz Sports Equipment Insurance helps minimize this risk by offering a tailored solution for public and private entities and organizations responsible for sports facilities.
With civil liability coverage tailored to legal requirements, this insurance provides greater peace of mind and security in the management of sports facilities.
