Liquor Liability
Liquor Liability
Many states require businesses that serve or sell alcohol to obtain liquor liability insurance as a condition to maintain a liquor license. If you serve or sell alcohol, you may be responsible for the actions of your patrons when they become intoxicated. Guild Insurance can help.
What
What is Liquor Liability Insurance?
Liquor liability insurance provides coverage for the acts of intoxicated patrons who injure someone else or damage the property of another person.
Many states have statutory requirements that mandate liquor liability coverage to be in place if you sell alcohol.
Facts
Are you covered?
Many liquor liability policies exclude this coverage. Do you have Common Law Coverage? Common-Law Liability applies when the consumption of alcohol and intoxication of a patron occurs in your state of coverage, but that alleged intoxicated patron injures someone else or damages another’s property in another state. In this instance, your current insurance policy may not respond with defense if Common Law Liability Coverage is excluded. At Guild Insurance, all of our carriers include Common Law Liability Coverage.
Why

You may be financially responsible for the injuries caused by your patrons. Your liquor liability policy with Guild Insurance will respond with vigor to protect your business.
Coverage Highlights
Claim Vault
