Claim examples for door supervisor insurance
Our expertise can also take the headache out of having to make a claim. We know the process inside out and can guide you through the various steps, making sure you get the best result in the fastest time. Here are some examples of recent claims against door supervisors we have handled.
- Third party ejected from a bar, they claimed they were injured when ejected (broken leg). The claim was successfully defended as the insurer worked with our client and the venue to gain evidence the staff acted in accordance with SIA guidelines and CCTV evidence showed there was no wrong doing. Claim denied and defended!
- Third party claimed they were assaulted by a Door Supervisor. Fortunately, the client took a robust policy we recommended that included Criminal Acts (some policies exclude this, so be aware). The door supervisor was arrested and charged for acting illegally during the course of their duties. The insurers settled the claim out of court with the claimant at best possible terms.
