Why Bend Restaurants Choose Gerald Ross Agency

Liquor Liability Is Essential

Bend's vibrant bar and restaurant scene means significant liquor liability exposure. Oregon's dram shop laws can hold restaurants liable for over-serving customers who then cause accidents. Liquor liability insurance is essential for any Bend restaurant or bar that serves alcohol.

Food Contamination Coverage

A foodborne illness outbreak can devastate a restaurant's reputation and finances. Food contamination coverage covers the costs of a contamination event — including product recall, cleaning, and liability claims from affected customers.

Workers' Comp for Restaurant Staff

Restaurant workers face significant injury risks — burns, cuts, slips, and heavy lifting injuries are common. Oregon requires workers' compensation for all employers with employees. Gerald Ross Agency can find competitive workers' comp rates for Bend restaurants.

Bend's Growing Restaurant Market

Bend's restaurant scene is one of the most dynamic in Oregon. Gerald Ross Agency understands the local food service market and can find coverage tailored to Bend restaurants — from downtown brewpubs to food trucks and catering operations.
