Event insurance coverage

• Non-employee, third-party bodily injury: If you’re hosting a book signing at a venue and an over-eager fan knocks the book display case onto someone else, you may be held liable for their injuries. Event liability insurance can pay for their doctor’s visit and resulting expenses.
• Third-party property damage: Say that at your wedding, your crazy uncle busts out the moonwalk a little too hard and scratches up the venue’s dance floor. You could be held liable for the damage. Fortunately, your policy covers third-party property damage and can pay for repairs.
• Liquor liability: There’s always someone who gets too rowdy at the holiday office party’s open bar. Liquor liability coverage protects you from the financial consequences of an alcohol-related accident at your event. However, be aware that liquor liability only covers you if you’re not selling alcohol at your event, such as a BYOB party. If you own a business that sells or serves alcohol at the event, you can easily add retail liquor liability to your coverage.
• Personal & advertising injury: Events and parties inspire people to celebrate, but the excitement can also turn sour. If someone says something at your event that can be construed as slander, then personal injury coverage can help you.

Finally, your insurance provides for the defense and investigation of claims and lawsuits brought against you, no matter how frivolous.

One important note: Event insurance does not cover event cancellation. Why? When you purchase insurance with Thimble, we give you the flexibility to cancel any time, right up to the minute before your event starts. Plus, event cancellation policies tend to be a lot more expensive, so you’re also saving money when you purchase event insurance coverage from Thimble.

Events are meant to be enjoyed. But if something goes wrong at the event you’re planning, it’s not going to be fun for anyone, least of all you. Whether you’re putting together a small birthday party, the wedding of the year, or something in between, event insurance should be a VIP at your event to protect you from the financial consequences of third-party bodily injury, property damage, and liquor liability.
