Liquor Liability
Protect your Business from claims

The three main risks that businesses selling or serving alcohol encounter include: 1) providing alcohol to a customer who is already intoxicated, 2) fostering a customer’s excessive intoxication, and 3) serving alcohol to a minor. While these actions may not result in an immediate liquor liability claim, they can create substantial legal exposure if they contribute to an accident or injury involving the customer, a minor, or a third party.
The cost of liquor liability insurance can differ significantly based on various factors, including the state where your business is located. For small businesses, a basic dram shop policy generally begins at approximately $500 per year, whereas premiums for larger establishments can reach into the thousands. Although liquor liability coverage can be acquired as a standalone policy, it is often more economical to include it with a general liability policy or as part of a broader commercial insurance package.
