Francis L. Dean & Associates understands that in today's insurance industry trust is a value of the utmost importance. Much too often, a client does not receive the full and true picture.

Is athletic participation covered by this particular policy?
Is this limit fine or should I pay more for a higher limit?
Can a claim reach that maximum with all those inside limits?
Is my policy an occurrence form?
Why a three year benefit period rather than a one year?

When questions such as the above arise, an experienced and trustworthy firm should be answering them - a firm that wishes only the best for its clients and knows how to provide overall insurance protection.

Company Service Overview
The service and professionalism that a client receives is unparalleled in this field. Prompt, precise and professional service has always been the standard at Francis L. Dean & Associates, and nothing less should be expected.

Policy Issuance. No client wants to wait 30 or 45 days to receive a policy. That is why prompt policy issuance is always stressed. Policies or certificates are mailed out the same day an application is received or they can be faxed within one hour.

Immediate Quotations. When calling in for a quotation there are no worries of a delayed response. Only fully licensed and qualified personnel answer the phones and can have a program put together in a matter of minutes. No waiting for returned voice mail, no waiting for a sales representative to contact an underwriter.

Claim Services. Francis L. Dean & Associates realized the first and foremost reason policyholders purchase insurance is that in the event a claim should arise, it is settled promptly, courteously and hassle-free.

Sports Accident Coverage
Every game is a big game. Whether it is a regularly scheduled season game or a week long sports camp, amateur athletics is always the site for intense competition. Athletes are often asked to compete at their highest levels, and as a result are more likely to run the risk of injury.

Our sports accident plans are specially designed to meet the needs of your athletes. With limits ranging from $2,500 to $10,000,000, our plans are flexible enough to address a broad spectrum of sports activities.

• Leagues


• Tournaments


• Camps


• All-Star Events


• Alumni Gatherings

Sports Liability Coverage
In the past, liability coverage for sports camps and leagues was either too costly, too limited or not available at all. Schools, coaches and directors were either forced to pay extremely high insurance premiums, or to run athletic camps or leagues without insurance protection, therefore running the risk of personal exposure to lawsuits or a participant's injury claim.

However, Francis L. Dean & Associates has developed a comprehensive program specifically tailored to cover the inherent risks involved for the schools, park districts, coaches, directors and players participating in sports camps and leagues.

The liability protection available through Francis L. Dean & Associates provides overall protection from litigants with no gaps in coverage. With an attorney and paralegals on staff, clients are guaranteed their coverage and in the event that litigation occurs, clients can count on a professional attorney and his staff to answer their concerns.

Highlights of the program include:

• $1,000,000 Limits


• $2,000,000 Aggregates


• Occurrence Form Policies


• Coverage of Athletic Participants


• Coverage of Assault and Battery


• Coverage of Sexual Abuse and Molestation
