LEGAL LIABILITY FOR COIN
OPERATED EQUIPMENT
There are thousands of vending companies serving hundreds of
thousands of locations
annually with dozens of variations in the style, products and
types of services being offered.
Some vending companies are considered �mom & pop� type
operations because they are small vending home business
operations comprising of one or two individuals doing everything
for the location. Other vending operations can range all the way
to monster size vending companies offering vending machines,
food service operations, coffee service, snack shops, catering
and much more.It is important to
note that regardless of the type of vending equipment,
food products, non food products or other coin operated
entertainment equipment, that liability insurance be in place at
all times. If someone eats or drinks tainted products from a
vending machine,
it is necessary to have liability protection
regardless of whose fault it is. For example, if you sell a
popular snack or beverage from a vending machine and someone
claim that they developed food poisoning, what would the vending
machine operator do? Even if the manufacturer of the food or
beverage is nationally recognized, chances are they already have
insurance. However, the individual with the food poisoning may
start his suit against the vendor and the location before moving
along to the manufacturer of the equipment, products or services
being vended. |
If you are preparing your own food and
serving it in your vending machines, you create
even more reason to have liability insurance because there would
be no manufacturer to share the blame with. Kids (and adults)
sometimes get their fingers caught in the strangest cavities of
vending machines merely because they are playing around and not
following the basic instructions for a vending or entertainment
purchase. In fact there has been incidents where individuals
attempting to vandalize and rob vending machines become injured
during the robbery and believe that they also have a right to
sue the owner! Wonders of the world never cease. |
