Circus Insurance Is a Must-Have

Has everyone dreamed of joining the circus at some point? Visiting the big top and seeing all those acrobats, clowns and stuntmen performing death-defying and mind-blowing tricks are exciting for adults and children alike. Circus school is fast becoming a popular form of exercise, thanks to touring shows like Cirque du Soliel, Pippin and Cirkus Cirkör, and cabarets and cruise ships that pique our interest. In fact, as of 2016, there were over 200 recreational circus schools in the U.S. For those that realize their dream to join the circus, perhaps to become a performer, put their life and soul into their craft. Years of practice, blood, sweat, and tears transform them into professionals that can perform their stunts under pressure with apparent ease. Yet, many are ill-prepared for the intensity of movement. Enter injuries — and a good chance of lawsuits. A circus school proprietor or instructor would be wise to work with a safety net — specialty liability insurance for circus schools from XINSURANCE

As you might imagine, these professions carry a large amount of risk. Performing high off the ground, using elements such as fire or water, use of animals, or having an act that requires audience participation can all lead to an unfortunate accident. Causing bodily harm to another individual or damaging their property can give rise to lawsuits, especially in today’s litigious society.

After an individual has spent their life dedicated to their craft, the last thing they want is to be faced with a situation where they are being sued. While the performer might be used to circus activities, audience members and other participants are almost certain to be relatively inexperienced. That can lead to mistakes being made. Faulty or damaged equipment used in performances can also be a factor in causing further damage or injury. Occasionally, during outdoor activities and performances, there is a risk of exposure to the elements or sudden harsh conditions.

A lot of these performers have a very hard time finding adequate liability insurance for circuses to cover their vocation. Since their profession is such a high risk, most insurers will shun them, leaving circus performers exposed to potentially costly and life-ruining lawsuits — the most common type being for bodily injury.

Whether you’re a business or an individual, XINSURANCE can provide 3rd party liability coverage for the following:

  • Circus companies
  • Entertainment companies
  • Circus schools
  • Performers
  • Instructors
  • Teachers
  • Aerialists such as trapeze, high wire, and slacklining, etc
  • Entertainers
  • Indoor and outdoor performances or classes
