Liability Insurance
Owning a business in the hospitality industry means you need your own specialized liability insurance policy. Hospitality errors and omissions can help you pay to defend yourself against lawsuits brought on by guests as a result of an error or omission in taking, recording or fulfilling reservations, event planning and so on. In addition, the policy will generally pay for the claims awarded (up to limits) except when due to willful negligence.
The liability insurance needs of your organization will vary and may include:
- Liquor Liability
- General Liability (which includes cover for the loss/theft of guest property)
- Workers Compensation
