That’s why general liability insurance for restaurants is so important.

  • A customer bites into some food and breaks their tooth
  • Your server spills food on a customer and damages the customers expensive clothing
  • Your customer eats some tainted food and suffers from food poisoning
  • A mistake is made and a customer is served nuts on accident

This list of accidents can go on and on. Accidents by definition are unexpected and unintentional. General liability insurance will protect your restaurant and its operations from unexpected claims and lawsuits.
