Common questions about Nightclubs

Answering the most frequently asked questions about Nightclubs.

What limits do we need?2026-08-17T23:05:26-04:00

Materially higher than a restaurant. Excess limits are standard given the severity profile.

Are we liable for patrons after they leave?2026-08-17T23:05:26-04:00

Under dram shop, potentially yes, if an intoxicated patron causes harm after being served.

Is assault and battery covered?2026-08-17T23:05:25-04:00

Frequently excluded or heavily sublimited. This is the first thing to verify on any nightclub policy.

Does security staffing affect coverage?2026-08-17T23:05:25-04:00

Substantially. Licensed security, training records and camera coverage all affect eligibility and price.

Why are nightclubs the hardest food and beverage class to insure?2026-08-17T23:05:24-04:00

Assault and dram shop severity stack. Late-night high-volume alcohol service produces the industry’s worst claim profile.

    I have been using Semper insured Landland for some years now. Stu has been very helpful and responses fast to any questions you need answers too. Sara has contacted me when he was busy. He has gotten the best health insurance each year … More for my needs. It’s hard living on only my widows disability and he has helped get my health care insurance as my needs change and within my budget.

    We are so thrilled to be working with Adam. From the get-go, he took the time to understand our business's needs and worked closely (and tenaciously) to assemble an insurance package that met our unique needs. He's shown himself … More to be diligent, contentious, and a true advocate -- in many ways it feels like Adam's become an extension of my team. In the months we've been working together I've really come to trust Adam, and feel his partnership as an agent reflects a knowledge of our business and its mission and a genuine energy to strengthen and protect our operation.
