Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A customer trips over a tent stake at a farmers market. The general liability policy is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
A customer reports food-borne illness after eating from a food truck. Product liability is generally intended to address allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover the truck or cart itself?

No — physical damage to the vehicle is typically addressed by a commercial auto policy. General liability is intended for third-party injury and property damage at the location.

Do venues and farmers markets usually require insurance?

Yes. Most markets and event venues require proof of $1M general liability with the venue listed as additional insured.
