Risk mitigation - we do the same thing that occurs in any real well run company. It doesn't matter if you have teenagers or adults you have to address things including the following
  • employee contract - training, rules, procedures, and dismissal policy.
  • training requirements
  • zero-tolerance for teenage stupid, or even adult stupid. ( "Hey, what if we......" ) - not going there, no way no how

Just think about if you were running a chemical or industrial plant, with adults - same issues - supervision, training, discipline


Liability & Medical Expense - Each Occurence $ 1,000,000
Personal & Advertising Injury LImit $ 1,000,000
Damage to premise $ 500,000
Aggregate Limit - products completed operation $ 2,000,000
aggregate limit - except products complete operation $ 2,000,000
medical expense limit - per person $ 10,000

and a bunch more stuff.................................
Beginning of your policy looks very similar to the one quote we received, not expensive at all was $500 for 1 year. As soon as the 2nd company heard the word teenager, regardless of training courses in place, etc, they no quoted us. Which insurance company did you use?
