Ounce Of Prevention No Cure For Liquor Risk
With litigation possible despite prevention, post-incident investigations needed
In an effort to help protect their businesses from liquor liability litigation, many hospitality establishments have implemented loss prevention measures to reduce the likelihood of overserving intoxicated patrons and to keep from serving minors. Clearly, the focus of these efforts is geared toward prevention.
However, liquor liability litigation is a risk to establishments that serve liquor in spite of the best prevention measures. How closely the responsible serving practices were adhered to can be challenged in any given occurrence. The risk of a lawsuit exists even if an establishment did not serve a patron.
