In our litigeous society, who know what this woman might claim? Do you folks carry some sort of insurance in case of lawsuits? If so, who carries it, and what kind of coverage do we need? What's is cost?

Most of us are insured through our state high school athletic association. The cost is actually pretty low, which usually leads me to believe that there are very few claims made against officials. If you are only charging someone $20/yr for $1 million in coverage, I doubt you are planning to cover many claims.
