Atlanta restaurant owners: your business faces risks that generic small business insurance was never built to cover.

From slip-and-fall claims to kitchen fires to liquor liability, the food service industry has one of the most complex insurance profiles of any business type in Georgia. Here is what your coverage should include:
• General liability for injuries, property damage, and legal defense
• Liquor liability if you serve alcohol (required by most Georgia landlords and licensing authorities)
• Business interruption to replace income during a forced closure
• Food spoilage coverage for power outages and refrigeration failures
• Workers' comp is legally required in Georgia if you have 3 or more employees

• Georgia insurers must acknowledge your claim within 15 days by law
• Do not make permanent repairs until the adjuster has inspected the damage
• You can negotiate a settlement if the first offer does not seem fair
• The Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance handles consumer complaints
