When any of these incidents occur, you and your business could be held accountable for any subsequent injuries or damages, and face devastating financial impact.
Your insurance policy probably has fine-print limitations and exclusions. However, our insurance solutions for bars, nightclubs, and taverns have an all-in-one approach providing coverage for security guards, liquor liability, alleged assault & battery, active shooter coverage, communicable disease, and much more.
