LOCAL RESCUE TEAM HAS INSURANCE COVERAGE TO PROTECT AGAINST LAWSUITS
The directors of the Oliver-Osoyoos Search and Rescue team are protected from the kind of lawsuit launched against an East Kootenay rescue squad by the husband of a woman who died in February, said the team’s search manager.
Jim McConnell of Oliver said the local team had third party liability insurance put in place last year which covers the team’s directors for liability or Workers Compensation Board issues.
