The course, “Dram Shop and Social Host Liability” is designed to enhance the student’s knowledge, understanding, and professional competence in the investigation, evaluation, and resolution of dram shop and social host claims. The module is presented by Jeffrey S. Pavlovich, a partner with the law firm of Leahy, Eisenberg & Fraenkel, and James Ogle of The Cincinnati Insurance Company.
Mr. Pavlovich begins by emphasizing the importance of dram shop and social host claims due to the frequently high verdict values brought about by their emotionally charged nature. He explains how to effectively minimize indemnity payments using a variety of defenses and other laws created to restrict these types of claims. Mr. Ogle outlines good practices for the investigation of dram shop and social host claims and stresses the need for a prompt investigation. Finally, Mr. Ogle summarizes the major coverage issues in liquor liability.
After completing the course, the attendee should be able to…
define dram shop liability and social host liability; identify the elements and defenses of each type of claim; list the most common ways to minimize indemnity payments; recognize a situation when caps on damages will limit a dram shop claim; recognize a situation when the statute of limitations, condition precedent, or failure to comply with notice requirements will bar a dram shop claim; indentify the proper party plaintiffs and proper party defendants; correctly apply the law in social host claims for adult/minor, adult/adult, and minor/minor situations; conduct an effective investigation into a dram shop or social host claim; identify the essential tasks in investigation that need to be performed as soon as practicable; and distinguish types of liquor-related claims that are generally covered and those that are not.
The course is designed for practitioners and insurance professionals working in the area of third-party casualty insurance coverage and litigation.
