Graduation Party? DON’T BREAK THE SOCIAL HOST LAW!

Can I be sued if my child or an underage guest at my home drinks alcohol and injures someone? Yes. You may be financially responsible if your child or an underage guest injures someone else while intoxicated if you supplied, served, or made alcohol available to those who are underage. The injured individual could file a lawsuit that would leave you financially unstable for the foreseeable future. Does the Social Host Law apply if I rent a hotel room for my son or daughter’s party? Yes. In this situation, you are in control of the room, which means the Social Host Law applies.

Will my homeowner’s policy cover the costs of litigation and any judgment against my child or me? It depends on your coverage and unique situation. Most insurance coverages will not cover anything related to criminal charges, so if you or your child injure someone while driving under the influence, you’ll likely be paying from your own pocket. Breaking the Social Host Law can have extreme consequences for you and your child. They may lose acceptance into their college of choice or even face jail time. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

By recognizing those who deserve it, we not only make them feel great, but we also benefit. They’ll surely remember us in the future and will provide us with exceptional service. For example, when my truck needs repairs, “my guy” goes out of his way to fit me in and never lets anyone else work on the truck. And when we have business banking problems, we call our private banker on his cell, and he gets things sorted out for us super fast. Recognizing people publicly makes them feel like VIPs, which is always a good thing. They’ll often spare time to care for us because they know their work and efforts are appreciated. And, to be clear, I never leave negative reviews. Life’s too short for that kind of negativity. Instead, we prefer to focus on the good and recognize it. By doing that, we’re making the world a better place, one positive review at a time!
