Industry Risks

Unique Risks You Face

Restaurants face more liability claims per square foot than almost any other type of business.

Slip & Fall Accidents

Wet floors, spills, uneven surfaces, and parking lot hazards make restaurants one of the leading sources of premises liability claims.

Foodborne Illness

A food contamination incident can result in multiple claimants, health department investigations, and devastating reputational damage.

Liquor Liability

If you serve alcohol and a patron causes an injury or accident after leaving your establishment, you can be held liable under dram shop laws.

Kitchen Fires & Equipment Failure

Commercial kitchens are high-risk fire environments. A grease fire or faulty equipment can shut you down for weeks.

Employee Injuries

Burns, cuts, slips, and lifting injuries are among the most common workers' comp claims in the food service industry.
