😂 “How does this relate to insurance?”

Fair question…

Because let’s be honest—
New York potholes don’t just exist… they attack.

And every spring, we start getting the same calls:

👉 “I just hit a pothole… am I covered?”
👉 “My tire blew out—does insurance pay for that?”
👉 “Do I have the right coverage for this?”

The truth is…
Most people don’t think about their insurance until after the damage happens.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to break down:
✔ What’s actually covered
✔ What’s not
✔ What it could cost you
✔ And what you should check now

Because potholes aren’t going anywhere…
But being unprepared doesn’t have to be part of the story. Check back soon!

Alcohol Tastings: A Hidden Liability Risk

Many liquor stores host tastings to increase customer engagement and sales.

But tastings introduce liquor liability exposure.

Insurance carriers want to know:
• Are tastings supervised?
• Are IDs checked?
• Are limits enforced?
• Are intoxicated customers refused service?

Without proper procedures, a tasting event can create significant liability exposure.

Important considerations include:
• Liquor liability coverage
• Event procedures
• Staff training
• Incident documentation

Retail sales and alcohol consumption exposures are very different from an insurance perspective.

Could your home be underinsured?

It’s more common than people think—especially when coverage hasn’t been reviewed in years.

Here’s why:
• Rebuild costs change
• Online quotes are often simplified
• Policies are carried over without updates

And here’s the reality:
When a claim happens, it comes down to what’s written—not what you assumed.
If it’s been 12–24 months since your last review, it’s worth taking a second look.

Security Controls That Lower Liquor Store Insurance Costs

Insurance carriers evaluate physical security controls heavily when underwriting liquor stores.

The strongest risk profiles include:
• 24/7 monitored alarm system
• Full surveillance camera coverage
• Cash drop safe
• Locked display cases for high-value items
• Secure after-hours storage

These controls help reduce the biggest claims drivers:
• Theft
• Robbery
• Employee dishonesty
• Inventory loss

Liquor stores with poor security controls often experience:
• Higher premiums
• Limited carrier options
• Lower theft coverage limits

Risk management directly impacts insurance availability in New York’s liquor retail market.

Insurance Tip: The State Remembers Longer Now.

As of February 2026, New York extended its violation review window to 24 months.

Older tickets that previously may not have affected underwriting can now stack with new violations.

This matters because:

Insurance carriers price based on driving history.

The longer the look-back period, the more opportunity for risk to accumulate.

If your premium changes this year, it may not be your carrier — it may be the new point system.

If you want clarity before your renewal hits, let’s review your driving record together.

That’s what we’re here for.

The #1 Insurance Mistake Liquor Store Owners Make
Underreporting inventory value.

Many liquor stores insure inventory based on:
"What they paid for the bottles."

But insurance must reflect replacement cost, not purchase price.

Example:
A rare bourbon purchased for $200 may retail for $1,200.
If inventory is underreported, a major loss could leave you severely underinsured.

Carriers want to see:
• Accurate inventory values
• Updated seasonal inventory spikes
• High-value items scheduled separately
High-end spirits retailers especially should review:
• Bourbon allocations
• Limited release whiskey
• Rare wine collections

Inventory accuracy is one of the most important underwriting factors in liquor store insurance.
