Mitigating Event Liabilities

The industry of hospitality largely centers around special events, from birthday parties to weddings to conventions. It's no surprise that large gatherings of people present the potential for risks such as injuries and property damage. As the owner/manager of an event center, it's your responsibility to protect the business from risks. One great way to do this is to purchase a hospitality insurance policy that is custom-designed to meet your specific needs.

Many event centers require a non-refundable deposit from clients for financial protection against cancellation. Sometimes, it's even required that clients purchase special event insurance to protect the center from liabilities and damages. But even with these protections in place by clients, it's still important that the center purchase its own insurance.

Even if a client has purchased special event insurance, the coverage limits may not be high enough to cover certain circumstance. For instance, a guest may get drunk and knock over a table full of food served in glassware, breaking property and rendering cleaning services necessary. If the client does not have adequate insurance to cover the damages, your event center's coverage can help make up the difference.

With so many facets to the hospitality industry, these policies comes with many coverage options. After all, you may not need liquor liability coverage if you do not allow alcohol on premises. Your independent insurance agent can evaluate the needs of your business and help find you a policy that protects your interests, party after party.
