What Is Event Liquor Liability Insurance?
Alcohol liability insurance for events protects your business from claims related to selling or serving wine, beer, and spirits.
Let’s say you’re bartending for an event where you accidentally overserve a guest. If that person gets behind the wheel and causes an accident, you could be held financially responsible for medical bills, legal fees, and repair costs. Liquor liability insurance for events helps pay for these types of expenses.
What Does Liquor Liability Insurance for Events Cover?
This coverage responds to business-related claims caused by intoxicated patrons. If a drunk guest damages the venue, gets hurt, or injures somebody, your Insurance Canopy policy can cover the resulting costs.
We also offer optional assault and battery coverage, which protects you in case a customer becomes intoxicated and starts a fight with another person.
Who Needs Event Insurance With Liquor Liability?
Any business that sells, serves, or provides alcohol at events needs liquor liability insurance. Some states legally require bartenders to have insurance before they can get a permit or license to serve. Additionally, most venues require vendors to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) as part of their contract.
Even if you’re not required to have liquor liability insurance for an event, it is still essential. A single claim can be detrimental to most small businesses, but insurance can absorb some or all of the cost.
How Much Does Liquor Liability Insurance for Events Cost?
Liquor liability insurance for events costs $275 for up to three days of coverage. The final price of your event liquor insurance policy varies depending on several factors:
- The state where you operate
- Your gross income
- The number of guests
- The length of the event
- Limit requirements
