A Waiver of Subrogation is required by some venues. If your venue has asked that you add a waiver to your liability insurance, simply select that option. If they don’t ask – you don’t need the waiver. If the details are important to you, a Waiver of Subrogation makes your insurance the only insurance to pay in the event of a covered claim, even if the venue is partially liable.
