Abstract
Sport is accompanied by numeorous risks which could cause damage not just to athletes, but also to other persons who are directly or indirectly involved in sport activities. Their protection can be achieved using various remedies (warranty, guarantee), such as insurance.
Sport insurance is usually based on a voluntary principle. However, the need for the intorduction of compulsory insurance (liability or accident) is recognized nowadays. In this regard, the paper deals with the rules governing certain types of compulsory sports insurance on the one hand, and the rules related to duty to inform on the existence of an insurance contract (in the case where compulsory sport insurance exists), or to inform athletes on the need and possibility to personally conclude insurance contract (in the case when insurance is not compulsory) on the other hand.
