GAA Injury Benefit Fund

 

The GAA Injury Benefit Fund only provides cover for unrecoverable losses up to the limits specified. The responsibility to ensure that adequate cover is in place lies with the individual member and members should not use the fund as their only recourse or be dependent on the fund to compensate them fully for any losses associated with the injury sustained.

The GAA Injury Benefit Fund does not seek to compensate fully for Injuries sustained but to supplement other Schemes such as Personal Accident or Health Insurance. 

 

The playing of our national games involves the risk of Injury and it is each individual registered player’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with the terms and benefits of the GAA Injury Benefit Fund. 

 

The GAA Injury Benefit Fund is in place to cover benefits which cannot be claimed elsewhere. 

 

All injuries must be logged within 60 days of the event & it’s the reasonability of the player/member to properly advise Team Management or an Executive officer of the Club within this period (there are no exceptions to this timeline).

 - First €100.00 of each claim is excluded.
 - Physio benefit is post-operative & capped at €320.
 - Surgical benefit is capped at €5,200.
 - Dental Repair Benefit is capped at €5,200.
 - Loss of wages is capped €300 per week for 26 weeks in total.

 Any cost incurred must initially be paid by the injured player/member & subsequently claimed back via the fund.

 Any cost incurred over and above the capped value will not covered by Glanmire Football Club.
