Injury Claim Forms
MEMO Updated 2nd Sept 2024
What is the Injury Fund?
The LGFA Injury Fund is an injury fund, set up to assist members with some reimbursement for medical expenses incurred due to an injury sustained during ladies Gaelic football. It is NOT an insurance policy. There is no insurance company involved in any way with the Fund and therefore there is no insurance policy number associated with the LGFA Injury Fund.
There is no legal obligation on the LGFA to administer such a Fund. It is the responsibility of all members to ensure that they have sufficient financial resources for any treatment they wish to pursue due to an injury. If a player is covered under another source, they must claim through that source first – i.e., private medical insurance (VHI, LAYA, Irish Life) or School Insurance.
The terms of the LGFA Injury Fund are included in the LGFA Injury Fund Guide. This guide is downloadable from this page (see below). It is the players responsibility to ensure they are aware of and follow the terms of the LGFA Injury Fund. If the terms of the LGFA Injury Fund, any treatment they undertake may not be covered for reimbursement by the LGFA Injury Fund.
