Liquor Liability Coverage Essential for Hospitality Businesses

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.
