Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insurance for hospitality businesses

General Liability insurance protects your business from claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury (like slander or libel) caused by your business operations, products, or employees. For example, if a customer slips and falls at your location, or if your work damages a client's property, General Liability would cover legal defense costs and settlements.
In Texas, Workers Compensation is not mandatory for most private employers, but it's highly recommended. Without it, you're personally liable for employee injuries and medical costs. Workers Comp covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation for employees injured on the job. It also protects you from lawsuits by injured workers. Many contracts and clients require proof of Workers Comp before hiring you.
Contact us immediately when an incident occurs—we'll guide you through the process. Document everything with photos, witness statements, and written descriptions. Report the claim to your insurance carrier promptly (most policies require timely notification). Keep records of all expenses and communications. We advocate on your behalf throughout the claims process to help ensure fair treatment.
