Fourth of July preparations are underway and the excitement is mounting for all the celebrations. Of course, the colorful bursts of light that proclaim the American Independence in the sky year after year play a big part in the festivities.

The FireWorks Display organizers face definite risks in regard to spectator and staff safety. Extra care should be taken to prevent mishap. As per legal guidelines set after the 9/11 terror attacks, rigorous safety codes are enforced, adding to the precautions against injury and damages.

Insurance relates to both the contractor as well as the sponsors that include shopping centers, city and town governing bodies, as well as community groups.  Individual insurance is bound for every display, while rating is centered on the contractor’s receipts and the particular state where the fireworks show is located.   Because of the intrinsic perils of the explosives, along with the exposure to severe damages in relation to large crowds of onlookers that the sponsors have slight control over, the insurance is difficult to place. The smaller contractors are even more difficult to place.

The following Fireworks Display Liability Insurance can be written by specialty insurers:

• Public Liability Coverage – protects if a spectator is injured
  
  
• Employers’ Liability Coverage – protects if an employee or volunteer is injured
  
  
• Special Event Coverage – protects the business owner or sponsor from cancellation and loss of profit
