While looking into formalizing our OiO group we have encountered what we see as an interesting question and we're wondering if anyone else has encountered it and has any insight from experience.
While we suspect (and are checking into it) that our USAH registration provides some level of individual protection, we are contemplating what level of liability the individual coordinators may fall under should an incident or taxation issue arise related to our OiO work.
For instance, what if an OiO slips and falls on the ice during a game and due to complications decides to sue for medical bills and beyond. We're wondering to what level the individual or organization who manages the scheduling of OiO might be potentially drawn into litigation and what exposure they may be subject to outside of USAH, team, and facility protections.
And, related to tax liability, if an organization of OiOs receives hats and jackets from the team for which they are providing services, but the group provides OiO services for multiple teams/leagues, does the organization risk potential tax liability for the items provided?
