If someone is intoxicated or has been over-served, then that person may become involved in an incident or accident. If that person causes an accident at or outside of your client’s business or personal establishment, your client may be held liable depending on the circumstances. Given the nature of the business, it is crucial that they’re prepared to defend against claims that can arise out of the serving, selling, or furnishing alcohol to people who are underage or guests. The Risks of Providing or Serving Alcohol Assume many risks when serving alcohol, including: assault and battery bodily injury property damage serving or selling to minors over-serving guests and more! Liability risks can be a major concern for any bar, tavern, nightclub, restaurant, hotel, apartment complex, special event, or other establishment offering alcohol to consumers. In fact, in some states, the fines and penalties for serving under-aged or intoxicated guests can be placed on the establishment owner or business operator. Drinking and driving accidents are always possible due to the effects of alcohol on the human body. So the probability of injury or death is always a concern when someone has been over-served. Host liquor is another concern. For example, if your client is hosting an event where liquor will be served to customers, there’s always a chance of over-serving and intoxication.
