During the school season, Washington umpires are considered "state employees" for the purposes of insurance during the actual time they work "official" games and are covered by the state Labor & Industries insurance (known as workmen's comp in some states). The state has advised us that we are not covered once a game is officially over, for any reason, forfeit, ten run, rain-out, regulation, whatever.
Due to the bureaucracy and accompanying red tape of dealing with the state, when I've been injured I've just opted to use my personal health insurance.
