Claims director Paul James said claims for personal injury were rising year by year and increasing the cost of public liability insurance for event organisers.
"Public liability Public liability insurance is increasingly becoming a requirement under the venue contract but event organisers need to be proactive to deal with potential hazards so that accidents are avoided," said James.
"A poor claims experience will inevitably increase their future insurance premium."
