Social Host Liability Laws in California

Keys and alcohol

If you own a home in California, it's important to be aware of social host liability laws. These laws make homeowners responsible for any damage or injuries resulting from events hosted on their property. If you're planning an event, ensure you understand your obligations and take steps to protect yourself.

Laws

If you’re a social person who likes to host parties, it’s essential to be aware of social host laws and how they may apply to you. According to California Civil Code Section 1714(c), If you host a gathering at your home and someone under the legal drinking age is served alcohol, you could be held liable for any resulting damage or injuries.

 Additionally, if someone who is intoxicated leaves your party and gets into an accident, you could also be held responsible. For this reason, exercising caution is important when hosting any type of gathering where alcohol will be served. If you're unsure how to proceed, it's always best to seek legal assistance. By being knowledgeable about social host laws, you can help protect yourself and your property from potential legal trouble.
