Insure Against Diamond Jubilee Party Disasters With Public Liability Insurance

Insure Against Diamond Jubilee Party Disasters With Public Liability Insurance











PublicLiabilityInsurance.org


London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 7 February 2012

PublicLiabilityInsurance.org, a leading resource and quote comparison website for public liability insurance in the UK is today warning event organisers and party planners of the dangers of not having in place the proper liability insurance policies.

As the countdown to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations continue to gather momentum, local councils, residents and private companies are already putting the final touches to their planned events and parties.

PublicLiabilityInsurance.org would like to remind these organisers and event planners that having the proper level of public liability insurance in place is paramount should they be planning to offer food and drinks to guests, launching fireworks or sky lanterns, or enlisting any external suppliers for event and entertainment services.

Local residents planning smaller, low-key street party events are also advised to contact their local councils for further guidance on public liability insurance requirements for their specific areas.

People are increasingly aware of their legal rights, and are more willing and more able to resort to legal action to obtain redress for injury, loss or damage caused by another party. It can be expensive to lose a legal action. Reforms to the legal system and a claimant-friendly legal environment mean that awards for personal injury continue to rise.

James Buck, a spokesperson for Publicliabilityinsurance.org and industry expert, warns Diamond Jubilee party organisers not to ignore the potential dangers of parties, and the compensation claims that can arise when incidents occur.

“People of a certain age who took part in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977 are only too aware that times have changed”, James commented. “What hasn’t changed is the fact that accidents, damages and even illnesses can happen at street parties, or be directly attributed to attendance at street parties. What has changed dramatically since 1977 is that an overwhelming compensation culture has emerged, and continues to evolve.

“Nowadays, it’s all about instigating claims if blame can be apportioned. This is, of course, exactly as it should be in cases of genuine negligence. The number of things that can wrong at street parties really is untold. Therefore, prudent party planners should really think about taking out public liability protection, in case anything untoward does happen and claims arise as a result.”

Diamond Jubilee: Protect Yourself Against Party Accidents With Public Liability Insurance

Diamond Jubilee: Protect Yourself Against Party Accidents With Public Liability Insurance











PublicLiabilityInsurance.org


London, UK (PRWEB UK) 27 April 2012

With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations fast approaching, PublicLiabilityInsurance.org, a leading resource and quote comparison website for public liability insurance in the UK would like to remind event organisers that they could be held personally liable for any injuries or property damage at their events.

With over 2.5 million people in the UK expected to attend parties celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June, accidental injury or property damage is inevitable and public liability insurance (PLI) will offer added peace of mind for event organisers should the worst happen.

Public liability insurance (PLI) will protect event planners should they be sued for injury to a person, or for loss or damage to property.

James Buck, a spokesperson for Publicliabilityinsurance.org and industry expert, said: “Whilst there is no UK law that makes insurance for these types of events mandatory, as an organiser of the event you could be held personally liable should something go wrong, and having the proper public liability cover in place will give you that added financial protection and peace of mind.”

“Organisers can purchase different levels of cover, from £1m up to more than £10m. How much they need will vary according to the type of event and the number of people going, but we recommend that you contact your local council first as some authorities have taken out blanket cover on behalf of all street parties in their area or have dropped the insurance requirement entirely, and if you live in an area where you need a local authority licence for your event, PLI may be a requirement.”

“As with most types of insurance cover it’s really a case of planning for the unknown. In terms of what can go wrong, the overall risks at street party events are usually quite low, but that’s not to say a claim won’t arise from injury or property damage during the party.”

“Street parties are a fun and celebratory event, they are not inherently dangerous events therefore in most cases it’s the slips, trips and falls (both during the event and setting up) that can cause event organisers legal issues.”

“For example, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) says that almost four in 10 children who hurt themselves on trampolines are so badly injured that they require operations. If you are not fully insured against this kind of accident, the cost of medical bills can snowball.”

“In today’s society people are increasingly aware of their legal rights and their ability to claim compensation, and we advise that street party organisers seek independent professional advice for their specific event requirements.”

Cottage Industry were established in 1976, since when the band has been on one long rollercoaster of a tour! Gigs across the country have included theatres, castles, country mansions, hotels, boats, clubs and pubs – and leaky barns! It also seems like almost every village hall in Dorset & Hampshire has echoed to the sound of the band’s driving jigs & reels! Highlights of the past 30 years have included a ‘medieval banquet’ broadcast live from the BBC studios in Southampton and playing aboard a schooner owner by an exiled Cuban goldminer – with a crew of 10 Swedish girls! Over the years the band has done quite a lot of recording – starting in about 1978 in a 4 track garage studio owned by photographer Roger Holman, to BBC Maida Vale Studios in 1981 & 1982 which produced a release “We’re All for Swanage”, a song about Swanage Railway that made us famous on TV and radio – well, for about half-an-hour anyway!
