Massachusetts Events Insurance

A special event can be one of a list of things, such as a parade, athletic competition, auto race, festivals with amusement rides, food vendors and alcohol sales or a wedding just to name a few. It does not matter what type of special event that you are putting together, the fact is that your regular insurance plan is typically not going to provide coverage for these risk exposures. Therefore, you need to invest in special event insurance from Philbin Insurance Group of Massachusetts, which is specifically designed to cover your particular event.

Philbin Insurance Group has a team of local agents that will be able to help you with the event liability insurance coverage that you need. Your agent will be able to provide you with a number of different special event insurance options and supply a quote that will allow you to compare the costs of each. You can rest assured that you will receive the coverage that you need at the price you can afford.

Understanding Event Liability Insurance

Your special event may be something small and simple like a birthday party, or it may be something as large and complex as a state fair that is open all month. If you are actively making plans for your own special event, then it is vital that you take the time to contact a Philbin Insurance Group professional insurance agent that will be able to help you determine the type of event insurance coverage you need.

Your agent will look over any existing insurance policies that you may already have in place and offer you advice on any additional special event insurance coverage that you need to carry. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that it is crucial that you have the event liability insurance in place well before you have a need for it. The process for underwriting special event insurance coverage can be lengthy and complex. Therefore, obtaining coverage should be at the top of your event planning list.

Some of the many different types of risk exposures that you can face with a special event include:

  • Aircraft Liability
  • Animal Liability
  • Auto Liability
  • First Aid Station Medical Malpractice
  • General Premises Liability
  • Liquor Liability
  • Loaned or Rented Property Liability
  • Product Liability
  • Property Damage
  • Spectator Liability

A regular personal or even a commercial insurance policy is not going to provide you with the right amount of coverage for all of these risk exposures. When all is said and done, you are sure to discover that it is better to have special event liability insurance in place that is specifically designed to provide coverage for your particular situation.

Your Philbin Insurance Group agent is capable of helping you compare event insurance options. This means that you can rest easy knowing that the special event insurance that you purchase will be the right coverage for you and it will be available at a price that fits comfortably in your budget.

The Cost of Special Event Liability Insurance

The price that you will be required to pay for event liability insurance of a single day for an event without obvious hazards may cost as little as just a few hundred dollars. Longer events that feature more activities will have a higher premium price. The kind of things that you will need to discuss with your Philbin Insurance Group agent in order to obtain the coverage that you need includes:

  • Nature of your event
  • Length of your event
  • Location of your event
  • Activities planned
  • Participants expected
  • Crowd control provisions
  • Serving or selling of alcoholic beverages
  • Amusement rides
  • Activities that may lead to spectator injury
  • Involvement of vehicles or motorized equipment
  • Serving or selling of food
  • Outside vendors
  • Experience of event runner
  • Prior claims for previous events
  • Requested liability limits

In most cases, the owner will request that they be included on your event insurance policy as an additional named insured.
