Why do you need animal event cover?

Organising an animal related event can involve a variety of risks to participants and the public. To protect yourself as an event organiser having suitable insurance is essential so you can focus on the planning and day to day activities without worrying about potential financial repercussions. These are some specific examples highlighting why animal event insurance is important:

Cover against claims if a member of the public gets injured.

Gatherings of people brings risks of accidents that can lead to injuries or damage. Ensure you have public liability to protect you against these incidents such as slip-and-fall accidents, injuries caused by equipment or structures, damage to personal property caused by the event.

An employee, temporary worker or volunteer suffers a workplace accident.

Event employees may be at risk of accidents or injuries during their work. A severe injury may mean they are then out of work themselves and bring a claim against the you, holding the event responsible for loss of earnings.

If employees or volunteers are involved in your event, employers’ liability is a legal obligation with fines of £2500 per day for failing to comply.

Accidental damage to event equipment.

During events, equipment is likely moved around and subsequently damages and losses are a higher risk. With the right equipment cover you can make a clam to replace or repair equipment you’ve hired, leased, loaned, or own yourself.

Your venue asks for public liability to hold an event.

Your venue may expect proof of public liability for events as a minimum before you secure a booking to host an event.

Our experts explain why...

“Securing event insurance is crucial in safeguarding your investment and mitigating unforeseen risks. Whether organising a wedding, concert, or corporate function, unexpected incidents can jeopardise your financial well-being. Event insurance provides a safety net, covering liabilities, cancellations, or property damage, offering peace of mind and allowing you to focus on creating memorable experiences rather than worrying about potential setbacks.”
