Liability Insurance for Showmen

Whatever your type of business, you need commercial liability insurance. What is it? In a nutshell liability insurance is designed to protect businesses against the risk of liabilities from lawsuits and claims made against them. Employers’ liability for example would cover the costs of someone getting injured at work who has sued the company and is required even if you only have 1 employee. Public liability insurance on the other hand protects your business against costs from a law suit relating to a member of the public. This type of insurance protection is absolutely vital for showmen running a funfair, fairground or side show. Whether a lessee or a tenant you have the responsibility of protecting both your staff and visitors. If something does go wrong, you could be held liable and be subject to pay for the consequential court and investigation fees, alongside any potential compensation costs. This is why it’s important to ensure your insurance is fit for purpose. Our friendly and experienced team will be able to guide you towards the right level of protection.
