General Liability Claims Rise during Spring – Keep Your Business and Customers Safe

Spring has sprung! That’s supposed to be an exciting thing, but did you know that general liability insurance claims rise during the spring months?  If you want to keep your business safe, it is essential to take the safety and security of your commercial space and its occupants seriously. These cases can be extremely costly and not only will you have attorney fees and a possible settlement, but you don’t want the bad publicity either.

Why are your risks increasing?

There are many reasons why general liability insurance claims increase during the spring months, and the reasons vary by location. One of the main drivers is that there are changes happening for your business.

If you are experiencing the April showers that bring May flowers, you could see an increase in the number of slips and falls that occur by your customers. Be sure to keep walkways clear, and floors dry during the spring months.

Spring also means new projects and this can increase your risk. These projects might require you to add more employees, which increases your risk. Exciting promotions can also drive more customers to your store and with increased numbers you will experience more risk. Adding new vehicles or equipment can also make things more complicated.

How can you protect your business?

A good way to combat the increased risk is to take training and safety seriously. Let your employees know the importance of safety as it pertains to them and keeping customers safe. Installing a CCTV system can also be a good protective measure as this will help you capture any incidents on camera. There have been many general liability insurance claims cases that fell apart because what the customer or employee said happened, the tapes proved differently. You wish everyone would by trustworthy and honest, but that is not always the case. It’s important to protect your business and source of income.
