WEBINAR  |  BUILDING  |  TECHNICAL

If you are involved in risk management in the hospitality industry you need to understand the key concepts and risk related issues related to potential liability.  Brokers, underwriters and claims professionals would benefit from understanding the key concepts and recent trends in this ever changing legal and insuring space.

The key concepts to review are, how have the courts viewed liquor exposures from the inception of the duty of care to the today. Specifically, why are liquor providers exposed to legal liability? If you host an event as an employer, what are the responsibilities in terms of making sure your guests arrive home safely?  When does your duty of care "end"?  If you have a party in your home and a guest leaves and harms others due to alcohol provided - are you exposed?   The seminar will explore the concepts of risk - liability and duty of care so that insurance professionals are better able to understand - underwrite - investigate and mitigate the unique risks involving the sale and provision of alcohol.

Topic Outline:

• What is liquor liability?
