Insuranceopedia Explains Alcoholic Beverage Liability Insurance
Alcoholic beverage liability insurance protects a business from having to pay thousands of dollars in lawsuits, medical expenses, and property damage costs that may be legally required due to the actions of an intoxicated patron.
For example, if a man becomes intoxicated at a bar, drives a car, and injures a pedestrian, and the injured person sues the bar and wins, the insurance company will cover the damages to the injured party, along with the litigation and other legal expenses associated with the lawsuit.
