Do I Need Liquor Liability Insurance?

Yes. In many states, businesses whose services include selling, serving, or furnishing alcohol are required by law to have Liquor Liability coverage. Even if your state does not require insurance, alcohol insurance is still an immensely important part of protecting your business from claims.

Alcohol-serving businesses face a unique set of liability risks. If your business—or an individual you served alcohol to—causes or is involved in an accident, it could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in fees, bills, and other expenses. That is why you need Liquor Liability insurance to mitigate—and in some cases eliminate—the costs of alcohol-related and other liability accidents.

What Does Liquor Liability Insurance Cover?

Liquor Liability coverage covers alcohol-related claims. These claims involve customers who become too intoxicated and cause accidents.

Liquor-related claims can be particularly costly, especially in cases concerning death or serious injury. That’s where Liquor Liability coverage comes in. It can protect your business by covering the out-of-pocket costs you may otherwise be required to pay, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

According to dram shop law, if an individual you served alcohol to went on to cause or be involved in an accident, especially if they are a minor and/or a visibly intoxicated person, your business could be held liable to pay for the damages—including bodily injuries, property damages, and more.

Questions About Liquor Liability Insurance

Businesses that furnish, serve, and sell alcohol are open to expensive risks associated with liquor-related claims, including the following:

  • Caterers
  • Food Truck Owners
  • Concessionaires
  • Private Chefs
  • Bartenders


Liquor Liability insurance coverage can help financially protect you from those claims and provide peace of mind.

There are many reasons why you should carry Liquor Liability insurance. First, depending on your state’s dram shop law, you may be legally required to have it.

Even if your state does not require alcohol-serving businesses to have insurance, there are still a lot of benefits to getting covered. If an alcohol-related accident were to occur involving an individual you serve, you could be held liable to pay for the damages.

Insurance Canopy’s Liquor Liability coverage is designed to help reduce the cost of insurance claims that could otherwise financially devastate your business.

Insurance Canopy’s base Liquor Liability insurance plan consists of $2,000,000 in General Liability coverage and $300,000 in Liquor Liability coverage, $300,000 in Coverage for Damage to Premises Rented coverage, and $10,000 in coverage for Tools and Equipment. 

For an extra cost, you can increase the coverage limits of your policies and include additional policies to your plan, such as Professional Liability, Cyber Liability, Assault and Battery coverage, and more.
