Common Restaurant and Pub Insurance Claims
Licensees in the UK go to great lengths to make sure their patrons are comfortable, well looked after and most importantly, safe from accidents or injury.
Unfortunately for some patrons and licensees’ accidents happen despite strict supervision and regular inspections, some safety aspects can get overlooked. These can result in accidents and injuries to both guests and staff.
By law, pubs, Inns and bars are required to keep their guests safe and to prevent foreseeable accidents on their premises whenever and wherever possible. Guests injured during a visit to your premises may be entitled to file a pub accident claim for compensation which is why it is essential to have the relevant pub insurance cover in place.
Some accidents can happen anywhere, so they are only classified as pub accidents because they take place within the premises, some accidents are unique to pubs, bars and restaurants and would reply on a claim being paid out under your insurance cover.
Here are some of the more common hospitality accidents and injuries that people log pub insurance claims for:
Old furniture – Many pubs, especially character properties and use their furniture as long as possible. This can cause problems as items such as chairs and tables can weaken over time. Unfortunately, it has been known for a chair or table to collapse suddenly whilst your the guests are using them, causing various injuries from burns, bruising or fractures.
Slip and falls caused by negligence – Wet floors and uneven surfaces from one area to another, worn carpeting, bunched matting, or curled rigs are some of the more common factors that cause slips and falls within licenced premises.
Theft & assault – If a patron is assaulted or robbed by an employee, the pub may be held liable on the grounds of negligent security for failing to conduct a thorough background check on the employee.
Food poisoning – Chefs take great care in ensuring that your guests have a wonderful experience when dining. However, undercooked meat, or poultry that has been left unrefrigerated for too long, unsanitary kitchen conditions or improperly cleaned kitchen utensils are just some of the ways that bacteria can get transferred to guests causing food poisoning—resulting in claims against your restaurant insurance.
Make sure you are covered for every eventuality with specialist pub insurance through Riviera insurance.
