Why is Public Liability Insurance Important to you as a speaker/mc/entertainer?
- Protection Against Claims – Public liability insurance covers the speaker if a third party (such as an event organiser, venue, or attendee) claims they suffered injury or property damage due to the speaker’s actions or negligence.
- Venue & Client Requirements – Many venues and corporate clients require speakers to have public liability insurance before they can present. Without it, a speaker may not be able to secure certain bookings. (This requirement is increasing, especially for international bookings).
- Legal & Financial Security – If a claim arises, legal fees and compensation costs can be significant. Insurance helps cover these expenses, protecting the speaker from financial strain.
- Peace of Mind
– Having coverage ensures that both the speaker and their clients can focus on delivering a great event without worrying about potential risks.
While not legally required, public liability insurance is highly recommended for professional speakers to safeguard their business and reputation.
