FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED SAIP INSURANCE

The following is a step by step guide on how to proceed if an accident/injury occurs during a CS sanctioned activity, and how to either have the insurance company pay the expenses directly, or to claim for medical expenses if, and only if, the injured member purchased SAIP Accident Insurance, from CS, when they purchased/renewed their license. Members who did not purchase the appropriate Class level of accident insurance or who were injured during non-CS sanctioned activities are not eligible to claim for medical expenses.

INJURIES WITHIN CANADA
