Single Event Public Liability Insurance Providers Can Cover Events of All Sizes
Your single event public liability insurance provider can help you
get million pounds levels of cover, against all the eventualities by
taking into account all your insurance needs. This cover would pay the
legal costs incurred in defending proceedings arising as a result of
accidental bodily injury or accidental damage to an individual or the
property. It may even cover you as the group if it is required to pay
compensation and legal costs regarding a claim that is made against the
group, which includes personal injury or property damage. It is however
really important to know about what the exclusions are before you
purchase a particular policy, this will ensure that all your needs are
met.
• Most single event public liability insurance policies offer for
employees against injury, illness or disease caused during the course of
their employment. The premium for these policies depends upon the type
of event as well as the number of people attending your event.
• Damage caused to third party property or persons is covered by this
policy. For example, if a builder or an electrician due to his
negligence causes damage to someone’s property while working on their
premises, then this would result in a claim against him or the company
and this cover will protect him and the company against such claims.
• Single event public liability insurance also relates to damage caused
by products supplied by a company, whether manufactured by the company
or not. You can also purchase differing limits of indemnity. The
exclusions vary between the policies of different insurance brokers or
companies. If you don't let them know about something, you may end up in
trouble. Always make sure to give your insurance company your full
details of everything you perform or do, prior to taking out this
policy.
• If a member has caused injury or property damage to another member,
may not necessarily be included in the cover. Therefore, it is always a
good idea to speak to an advisor who will carefully go through
everything for you. If you are required, you must get your policy
extended to get a cover for things like event equipment and
cancellation, postponement, even if you have to pay extra premium for
that.
• This insurance is suitable for anyone considering of organising an
event of some kind. It is recommended for you if you or your committee
are organising just one event or several throughout the year, if you are
attending an event or series of events either exhibiting or if you are
occupying a hall as a group, either just once or for regular monthly
meetings, debating society, whist drives, etc.
Single event public liability insurance is usually not required by law,
but it is a sensible thing to buy it in case anything goes wrong. As an
organisation or individual, it will guard you against claims, for
example if a member of the public decides to take legal action due to an
injury caused during some activity they are involved in.
