PL & PI are critical I wouldn’t be a Director or senior manager of a company that didn’t have cover for D&O 7 December 2012

I am only the inspector and the claim would be against the operator If there is a fault with the ride it should be passed back to the manufacturer I only inspect small juvenile rides It is too expensive 9 December 2012

On a large loss everyone that had any involvement with the ride will be brought into the claim, either by the claimant or the defendant’s insurers Without insurance can you afford to defend your position? If your insurance cover is inadequate, your insurers could pay out the maximum limit of indemnity and walk away 10 December 2012

With advances in medicine, persons with severe injuries have more chance of survival and can live a lot longer The cost of medical care increases each year Investment returns have fallen significantly The Result –personal injury awards will continue to increase 14 December 2012
15
No If things go wrong, who would be hurt and how extensive would their injuries be? The claim will be expensive if the injuries are permanent and will result in the injured party requiring ongoing medical care and assistance 15 December 2012
16
The suitability of the insurer (financial stability) Is the limit of indemnity inclusive of cost? Do any of the contracts you have impose upon you minimum requirements in respect of liability cover? Do you know what insurance cover your clients hold? 16 December 2012
17
It is dependent upon precisely the work you do, every business is different. However The limit of indemnity for PI should be at least equal to that you have for PL A limit of indemnity of less than £1,000,000 is likely to be inadequate 17 December 2012
