What Is Event Liquor Liability Insurance?
Event liquor liability insurance protects your business if you were hit with an alcohol-related claim from an event where your business sold or served alcohol.
For example, a guest at your event might have had too much to drink, become intoxicated, driven off, and gotten into an accident that caused serious injuries. You could then be held responsible for thousands of dollars in medical fees and expenses because you served them alcohol.
If you are hosting an event that involves alcohol but you are not serving, selling, or furnishing the alcohol yourself, host liquor liability coverage is a better fit for you. However, if you serve alcohol at parties or bartend at events then you need event liquor liability insurance.
What Does Event Liquor Liability Insurance Cover?
Event liquor liability insurance protects bartenders, caterers, or any business owner who provides alcohol as part of their business against liquor-related claims, such as an intoxicated customer driving away from the party and causing an accident that results in serious injuries. It can also include party hosts, such as a bride and groom, or various types of parties such as corporate dinners or luncheons.
We also offer an Assault and Battery Endorsement, which is available to add to your policy during checkout and protects you in case a customer becomes intoxicated and starts a fight with another person.
Who Is Liable For Alcohol-Related Claims At An Event?
Event hosts or business owners who serve alcoholic beverages are held liable for alcohol-related claims.
Some venues may even require you as the host to have insurance. Even if it isn’t outright required, you should add event liquor liability insurance to your policy before hosting the event to avoid paying thousands for claims.
How Much Does Liquor Liability Insurance for Events Cost?
The cost of insurance for serving alcohol at events starts at $275 for up to three days of coverage. The price of event liquor insurance is affected by the number of people attending the event, the length of the event, and venue requirements.
