Who Needs Liquor Liability Insurance?
The term “liquor liability” refers to your legal and / or financial responsibility for the actions of people who consume alcohol – and the consequences of those actions.

- Sell or distribute alcohol at your place of business.
- Allow patrons or guests to bring their own alcohol and consume it on your premises (i.e., you own a BYOB business).
- Serve alcohol at an event you’re hosting.
- Allow others to serve alcohol at your venue.
Think of a Liquor Liability Insurance policy as your last line of defense when you’re slapped with a lawsuit despite your best-laid risk management plans. If your business is sued for serving the intoxicated person that harmed a third party, you can rely on your policy to cover your…

- Damages arising from the liquor-related accident.
- Judgments or settlements.

What is Liquor Liability?
For commercial entities that sell liquor or alcohol beverages, such as
- bars
- restaurants
- caterers
- reception halls
For individuals or organizations who host parties and events where alcohol is served.
Every time you host an event or invite patrons to drink at your bar, you open yourself up to the risk of a liquor liability lawsuit. And just the cost of hiring an attorney can be enough to financially strap a small business or an individual party host.

Happy Customers
Thanks O’Kane & Tegay! I’ve been a happy customer for a few years and have always appreciated the good rates. I’m also very impressed with their friendly, quick and efficient customer service. I highly recommend you call or visit these guys if you need a new insurance policy or want a better rate and/or better service.
A friend of mine refered me to these guys for an event I was planning here in San Diego. Yes they are in San Francisco and I am in San Diego. I can not begin to tell you how easy this was. I dont understand insurance and I dont want to understand insurance. They helped me feel at ease from start to finish. Fast easy affordable. I never thought that existed when dealing with insurance before now. Great job and thanks for the help!
