Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey
Hello
We are opening an Event Space business and I have a question about alcohol:
If a customer (who is having his/her party at our space) brings alcohol, pours it himself/herself to the guests, and an accident happens to anyone who was consuming it in our space, are we liable?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You are liable for your own acts of negligence, not for someone else's. You are also going to carry a comprehensive business liability policy as well right? So make sure you know what this covers for as well.
I'm sure you are going to have a number of other legal questions and concerns moving forward, so I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
