Assault & Battery Insurance

Product Overview

Unfortunately, from time to time, owners have to deal with bad apples that go to their establishments and exhibit bad behavior. If a situation escalates into violence and patrons are hurt, it could lead to the restaurant owner dealing with legal and financial issues. This is why having assault and battery insurance is so crucial.  This type of insurance protects you and your establishment against instances of violence. This kind of insurance is not limited to dining and entertainment establishments. If your profession puts you at risk of violent assaults, such as private investigation and personal security personnel, having the proper coverage is in your best interest.
