Here's an incident that
happened in my
community this last winter. It
was at an Americana dance but at the hall
in
which we contra dance.
Midwinter a
woman with noted balance problems to
begin with, slipped
in
the dirt parking lot and allegedly
hurt her
wrist. She came in anyway,
danced the first half of the night w/o
mentioning anything, praised the
band at
break but said she was headed home
because she'd hurt
her
wrist. Two days later she brought
suit against
the hall...which turned
out
to be indemnified, so she then went after
the band...suit is
still
pending. Band will no longer play
at that hall
and others are afraid to
book. Could have happened at a contra.
Litigious
people are out there.

I am not a legal
expert -
but this is what I
understand:
I
have not heard of anyone being sued - so it
is rare (and probably why the insurance is
not
expensive) -
it can happen.
Should a dancer be injured -
the caller
doesn't want to sue - their
medical
insurance company
might come
after you. My wife broke her arm at
a dance
once and her insurance called to get the
name
of everyone
involved with
producing the dance so they could
recover
their costs.. She told them it was
entirely
her fault and
would say that
if anyone asked - so they
dropped it.
I believe if you are a
beginning caller - not getting paid - your
home owners
insurance may cover you
(check with them).
Once you start
need callers insurance. It costs less
that the
pay for
most one evening
dances.
I
wouldn't call without it
Laws vary from state to state
and those in the legal field can probably
provide more
specific details.
