Liquor liability insurance (also called dram shop coverage) protects your business if an intoxicated patron causes injury or property damage after being served alcohol at your establishment. It covers third-party bodily injury claims, property damage lawsuits, and legal defense costs. It does not replace general liability — most alcohol-serving businesses need both policies working together.
