: I don't understand why, if he was working as a ref at the game he wasn't covered under the field/promoter's worker's comp policy. Florida's pretty strict about that isn't it? And wasn't it a field owned/operated by a municipality? What's the point of all the expensive insurance if nobody's covered? Worker's compensation insurance is not at all the same as "that expensive" (under $1 per player/day) insurance at paintball fields. Paintball liability insurance protects a field operator from liability to their customers. I'm not up on Florida worker's comp laws, but any means, but that's totally separate from field liability. I know when I worked for the State of California, I got diddly squat for workman's comp when I hurt my back on the job - because I was a part time employee, I didn't have coverage. See you on the field, -Bill Mills
