How Does Special Event Insurance Work?

When you hold an event, whether it’s a small gathering or a major festival, you’re responsible for the safety and well-being of the people in attendance. Special event insurance exists to protect you from any financial damages in case a guest or other actor declares legal action against you.

Do I Need Special Event Insurance?

Many people assume that if they’re renting a venue to hold a special event, the venue is legally responsible for any personal injury or property damage incurred during the event. However, as the occupier of the venue, it’s your duty to protect anyone attending the event from all foreseeable harm. That means, in order to ensure that you’re fully protected against any legal claim, the best plan is to find an appropriate special event insurance policy.
