As Red Hat Ladies we are mostly ?out and about? and Public Liability is not required.
BUT what about when we organise an event and hire a hall or use private property and someone is injured through negligence? Was there an electrical cord where it could be tripped over; a water spill not wiped up?
That is when Public Liability is may be required.
It may not be a Red Hat Lady / group starting the claim ? it may be their Medical Insurance Company
What does the current Public Liabilty (currently from SLE) cover:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
NO - unless there is strong ?reason of neglect by others? that caused the injury.
There were specific annual gatherings noted in the P/L policy application by ARHGA, but all (insurance participating) groups should ascertain their coverage with the ARHGA if hosting a large gathering and not assume they would be covered, without first notifying the Committee/Insurer and determining the independent coverage of a specific event.
Most proprietors of halls will require a copy of the groups P/L Insurance documentation and will ascertain if it is applicable/acceptable to their facilities.
Accidents caused by any fault in the building
safety is the responsibility of the hall proprietor.
If holding functions in a hall etc. organisers must be mindful of all safety
issues and not put themselves in a position of neglectful responsibility to
avoid being sued.
Most Parade organisers will require a copy of the groups P/L Insurance documentation and will ascertain if it is applicable/acceptable to their event.
