Liquor liability insurance is a
stumbling block for many in the hospitality industry. Some insurance
experts say as many as half of the businesses that should have liquor
liability coverage don't have it, often because they don't understand
the extent of their legal exposure.
Depending
on the laws in your state, your clients who serve alcohol may be held
liable for the actions of intoxicated or underage persons they serve
(including when they later drive impaired), as well as other hazards
that could put them out of business. Consider these:
- Negligent service to an
intoxicated or underage person can produce substantial verdicts or
settlements.
- Employers may be held liable for
the actions of employees who sell or serve alcohol in violation of
state laws.
- Even if an establishment is not
found liable, it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend
a claim.
- Underage drinkers make up a
significant portion of alcohol-related traffic crashes.
