Hosting a picnic for the day? Do you need event liability?

Consider these risks associated with picnics to help you decide:

If you are hosting the picnic in a municipal park, on a municipal beach or on crown land you may need a permit that requires you to show evidence of one-day event liability. Often the permit will specify the short-term venue liability amount required.
Are you hosting the picnic at home in your yard? Check with your homeowners broker to see if you are covered. Parties over a certain size are most likely not covered especially if you serve alcohol.
Hosting a picnic is a great time to bond with family, friends and coworkers. Picnics are fun until your guests are injured. What if your friend or relative is forced to sue you or your company? Will your homeowners insurance cover you? Probably not. Picnic liability insurance will cover you if you are sued by providing a lawyer to defend you and paying judgement costs awarded to your injured guest.

If you will be serving alcohol at your picnic, make sure that you request venue alcohol liability. Remember, as a host you are responsible for the safety of any guests. You could be held legally responsible if people consume alcohol during your picnic and harm themselves or someone else. Consider how your guests will be traveling home.
