Do you need Liquor Liability Insurance?
Serving alcohol at a special event or owning a business that serves alcohol
always involves an element of risk. Liquor liability insurance protects your
company against loss or damages claimed as the result of a patron of your
business becoming intoxicated and injuring themselves or others. If your
business manufactures, sells, serves, or facilitates the use or purchase of
alcohol, then you need liquor liability insurance coverage.

 Arizona Liquor Liability 101
There has always been a great deal of confusion about the need for liquor
liability - even among insurance professionals. Liquor liability laws vary
greatly by state, and insurance policy coverage options are often confusing.
Here is some basic information on the subject:
 

• “Dram Shop” Laws: hold alcoholic beverage servers
  financially liable for harm that visibly intoxicated individuals cause to other
  people, themselves, or property. These laws are established at the state level.
  They can apply not only to bars, liquor stores and restaurants, but also to
  social clubs and private events where liquor is served. Dram shop laws also
  include selling liquor without a license, selling liquor after hours, and
  selling liquor to minors.   


• Liquor Legal Liability: provides coverage for bodily injury
  or property damage for which you may become legally liable as the result of
  contributing to a person's intoxication. This coverage is provided by a separate
  policy and will only cover establishments 'in the business of'
  manufacturing, selling, distributing, or serving alcoholic beverages for a
  charge. This exposure is not covered under a general liability policy.   


• Host Liquor Liability Insurance Policies:
  cover special events for businesses that elect to serve alcohol to
  their employees, prospects, and customers. This type of liability insurance is
  also needed by people and businesses serving or providing alcoholic beverages to
  customers, guests, or employees.
