Restaurant and bar insurance policies are designed to help business owners in Cincinnati, OH, reduce financial losses when covered events occur. Whether a policy will pay to replace pool tables depends on the cause of the damage and the specific coverages included in your policy.

Wear and Tear Is Not Covered

If your pool tables need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, such as worn felt or aging components, insurance coverage generally will not apply. Standard policies only cover damage caused by specific covered events. Routine maintenance and replacing worn-out equipment are typically the responsibility of the business owner.

Covered Events and Perils

Insurance policies list covered events, also known as covered perils, that may qualify for reimbursement. Common covered perils can include fire, wind damage, vandalism, and certain natural disasters. Some policies may also include theft coverage. It is important to review your policy or speak with an agent at Advantage Insurance Network to understand exactly which perils are included.

Common Policy Exclusions

Restaurant and bar insurance policies also contain exclusions, which are situations or events that are not covered. Depending on the insurer and location, certain perils such as tornadoes may be excluded or require additional endorsements. Flood damage is another common exclusion and typically requires a separate flood insurance policy.

Your business location can influence coverage limitations and exclusions. Restaurants and bars located near the Ohio River may need additional flood insurance, while businesses in higher-crime areas may face higher premiums or limited coverage for theft and vandalism.
