Insurance for the Amusement and Recreation Industry

The amusement and recreation industry is a massive market, valued at $54.9 billion, that is projected to reach $82.4 billion by 2030. Park owners are looking for specialty liability insurance that covers all aspects of their business. The problem is, not every insurance company is willing to provide the coverage these businesses need. Fortunately, we can write customized liability insurance for the amusement and recreation industry and have been doing so for decades.

If you’re an insurance producer looking to write more business and provide insurance solutions to your clients, then Prime Insurance Company is the partner for you. As a leading excess and surplus lines insurance company, Prime can provide customized insurance policies with confidence.

However, Prime writes customized insurance policies based on the insured’s needs and we can include coverage for the following:

  • Amusement parks and theme parks
  • Water parks

Accidents in the Amusement Industry

There are many risks to consider at an amusement park, water park, etc. – large crowds, mechanical rides, food and drinks being served, and much more. Every business owner should follow standard safety tips and protocols but even still, accidents can happen.

It is estimated that there are roughly 30,000 amusement park-related injuries each year! Some of the most common injuries include slips and falls, injuries to the head, neck, and back, and food poisoning from concession stands.

Prime offers in-house risk management expertise to mitigate those risks as much as possible but there’s only so much we can control. It’s best for your clients to be prepared for the worst by having a liability insurance policy in place.

Why Offer Insurance for the Amusement and Recreation Industry?

While the amusement and recreation industry may be risky, it’s also lucrative for a lot of business owners and operators. People will always want to have fun and that’s what the amusement and recreation industry provides, risky or not.

The potential risk of amusement and recreation won’t stop people from enjoying these activities. Nor should it stop your clients from owning or operating such businesses. The key to success lies in insurance for the amusement and recreation industry.

General liability insurance may not be enough for your clients, especially as amusement and recreation activities get riskier. An intense water slide may pose more risk than a shallow, lazy river, for example, so different amusement and recreation activities carry different levels of risk. Insurance for the amusement and recreation industry is specifically targeted at filling in the gaps left behind by insurance that doesn’t cover this level of risk. As an insurance producer, you may be able to ensure that your clients are fully covered by getting in touch with us.

Insurance Providers for the Amusement Industry and Prime Insurance Company

Our partnership approach requires that we speak with the insurance producer and the insured so we can better understand everyone’s needs in order to provide the right coverage, the right service, and most importantly, a long-lasting, healthy relationship.

Over the past years, many of the cheaper markets have run into trouble, gone broke, or stopped writing. As a result, Prime is writing more business and we remain committed to doing it right! Insureds need a more efficient insurance company and a better partner that’s willing to fight frivolous lawsuits practiced by legal professionals nationwide.
