Liability Insurance for Horse Carriage Operations & Services
Today, we’re looking at liability insurance for horse carriage operations and services. If you’ve tried it before, you know that taking a ride in a horse-drawn carriage is a ride like no other. If you’re in the city, you can take in amazing views all while riding in 14th century style with your significant other, friends, or family. The old school methods of transportation and the ‘clip-clop, clip-clop’ sound of the horse’s hoofs really make the experience one you haven’t had before. As a carriage owner or operator, you care about your customers. You also care about your business so make sure you invest in horse carriage insurance.
Common Causes of Accidents
- Horses
- Driver Error
- Environmental Factors
Horses – Horses are sensitive animals. Although horse carriages are generally safe, you can never predict a horse’s actions. You typically find horse carriages in the city where there are a lot of people and a lot of vehicles. Some people may want to go up to the horse and pet it but if they catch the horse by surprise the horse might retaliate. Next thing you know, you have a lawsuit on your hands because your horse attacked a third party. A passing car or taxi might drive by and honk at the carriage operator due to driving slowly or the honk could even be a way of saying hello but a sudden loud nice might frighten the horse – causing it to run or jerk in a certain direction or crash the carriage, possibly hurting other people or damaging one’s property.
Driver Error – It’s not always the horses fault. The driver/operator could be new to operating a horse carriage or simply misjudged something on the road. Whatever the case may be, people make mistakes and errors all the time…a carriage operator is no different.
Environmental Factors – Weather, pedestrians, vehicles, road conditions, etc. all play into effect. These factors can be unpredictable and not so friendly at times. You need to be careful when/where you operate your business!
