chastised someone else Executive Council something have written Some have legal action taken result something have written columns others have jeopardized earlier legal action result what written can assure aforementioned has result anyone trying get themselves AMA hot water rather result simply trying let members know what going Its somewhat like situation news media wartime questions arise its right know versus need protect institution arent quite bad being blinded lights cameras hit beach troops Gulf faced still cant believe situation problem getting more difficult deal Which importantthat inform members what think protect ourselves organization would use information print ammunition against us Its tightrope forced walk someone always ready shake end column column question Anybody got answer Recently AMA able increase affordable cost amount insurance could provide its members clubs site owners $25 million per occurrence would expected well received everyone being questioned some best interest Some now putting forth argument makes us vulnerable simply after deep pockets lawsuit Frankly will admit would seem true surface dig deeper its simple problem insure site owners insure members makes site owners likely target lawsuits best interest Lets face attorney looking get client largest award possible person injured client has $1 million coverage property owner insured $2 million $5 million whatever dont think attorney going make increased effort prove property owner contributing factor accident get access higher limits property owner club member insured same limits under policy attorney would have lot less incentive involve property owner would have little gain need protect sites insulating site owners lawsuits much possible well cover involvement lawsuit

answer Recently AMA able increase affordable cost amount insurance could provide its members clubs site owners $25 million per occurrence would expected well received everyone being questioned some best interest Some now putting forth argument makes us vulnerable simply after deep pockets lawsuit Frankly will admit would seem true surface dig deeper its simple problem insure site owners insure members makes site owners likely target lawsuits best interest Lets face attorney looking get client largest award possible person injured client has $1 million coverage property owner insured $2 million $5 million whatever dont think attorney going make increased effort prove property owner contributing factor accident get access higher limits property owner club member insured same limits under policy attorney would have lot less incentive involve property owner would have little gain need protect sites insulating site owners lawsuits much possible well cover involvement lawsuit
