Specialty liability for outdoor guides ensures that people working as guides in the outdoor recreation industry can make the most of their skills and experience without worrying about a life-altering lawsuit. Many of the areas in which outdoor guides work are inherently risky, whether it’s due to location or the activity itself.
Mountain guides, river guides, and those who guide participants through ATVing, climbing, hiking, and more are exposed to risk, and their clients are, too. It’s the kind of activity that is not typically covered through general liability insurance, which is where Prime Insurance Company and our specialty liability insurance for outdoor guides come in to save the day.
The Details of Specialty Liability for Outdoor Guides
Every guide, tour, or group and every activity they lead is unique. That’s why Prime Insurance Company offers customized solutions to each one of your clients, so you can make sure that they get the coverage they need without paying for something unnecessary or leaving part of their risk uninsured. We know that your clients look to you, as an insurance producer, to help them secure insurance, for their own peace of mind and that of their customers, and we aim to make the process as easy and transparent as possible for everyone involved.
What happens if your clients are not insured? There are many things that could go wrong. Guides are responsible for their clients, whatever level of experience they do or do not possess. Without insurance, an event such as an injury, property damage, or accident can ruin the business and set the guide up for long-term financial and reputation woes. Planning, preparation, and problem anticipation is highly recommended, of course, but it is insurance that is the safety net for your clients, which is why they are coming to you.
That being said, insurance for outdoor guides is not always easy to secure. Based on the risk involved, many insurance companies will turn away from this kind of activity, and it will often not fall under general liability policies because of that same risk. Prime Insurance Company, on the other hand, is well-versed in writing risks other insurers avoid, which we can do thanks to our well-honed approach and our strong risk management practices.
