FITA's General Liability Insurance

A cost-effective General Liability Insurance Policy is available to members of the Federation of International Trade Associations (FITA) without regular office space.

General Liability Insurance protects against claims resulting from bodily injury (BI) or property damage to a third party (PD) in connection with many of the events* scheduled by FITA member associations.

Associations need General Liability Insurance because of the exposure present when sponsoring or hosting meetings and covered events. While the frequency of General Liability claims among associations like yours is low, the severity of claims when the do occur can be extraordinary. Additionally, hotels, restaurants, and other facilities where you conduct events are requiring evidence of General Liability Insurance coverage.

*Covered events" include activities such as monthly meetings, luncheons and educational seminars. It does not cover "special events" which include golf tournaments, dances, dinners with more than 100 attendees, BBQ's and water events. If coverage is needed, a separate special event policy would need to be purchased. Please contact the Novick Group to determine if your events require a special event policy.
