Does Standard Restaurant Insurance Cover Alcohol-Related Accidents?

 

Picture this scenario. You own a restaurant. One night, a few guys come in for dinner and have a few drinks at your establishment.

Fact: If you own a business that serves alcohol, you need liquor liability insurance. That goes for bars, taverns, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, brewpubs, and any other establishment that serves alcohol to patrons.

Liquor liability insurance is the only coverage that will protect you against a huge lawsuit resulting from a customer getting intoxicated and causing harm to himself or others.

Without liquor liability insurance, you run the risk of getting sued to the tune of tens of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Some avoid purchasing this coverage because it can be costly, but it’s more than worth its cost in the value and protection it offers your business. Others don’t have liquor liability insurance simply because they don’t know how to get it.

Shopping for liquor liability insurance in Texas isn’t complicated. Here are a […]
