ACCIDENT REPORT FORM

Fill out the accident report immediately. Make sure all the sections

of the accident report form are filled out completely. Include any

additional information that might be helpful.

The accident report should be mailed to ACBL headquarters to the

attention of the Accounting Department. The report will then be

reviewed.

Most of the claims that are filed are due to falls at the tournament

site. It would be very helpful if the Directors could be sure all

aisles are kept clear, tears in carpets are fixed, cracks in concrete

are covered and caution signs are put out concerning wet floors.

Please do not advise any accident victim that this report form is a

claim. Also do not promise any accident victim that their accident is

covered by insurance. That decision can only be made by the insurance

adjuster after a claim has been filed.

In addition, notify the Chief Tournament Director, by phone, as soon as

possible. The extension is 331.
