Beauty Examples

What if??

Wondering what kind of claims could be covered by beauty insurance? We've got some examples to make it easy.

  • General Liability: Chair breaks, customer falls and breaks their arm.
  • Professional Liability: A client sues you because they claim that you ruined their hair when applying color, and they can’t go to work because of their appearance, meaning they are losing out on pay.
  • Damage to Premises Rented: The sink gets clogged while washing someones hair and overflows, damaging the floor in your rented space and the ceiling below.
Note: These are just examples. Your claims adjuster will have the final say in coverage and payouts.

Damage to Premises Rented to You

This is liability coverage for property damage to a premise for which the insured is liable. This coverage applies to a property the insured rents or has permission to use.

This does not apply to the named insured or their employees.

  • False Arrest, detention or imprisonment
  • Malicious prosecution
  • Wrongful Eviction or Wrongful Entry
  • Oral or written publications that slander or libels a person or organization
  • Oral or written publication or material that violates a person's right of privacy

Defense Costs

Defense Costs coverage is included in your general & professional liability insurance coverage limits. Defense Costs refers to all the costs of defending against a lawsuit. These expenses include the cost of hiring a lawyer, court fees, investigations, gathering facts, filing legal paperwork, and other related costs.
This is often the most important aspect of protecting you if you are being held liable for bodily injury or property damage resulting from your services.
