Illinois Casualty Company (ICC)

Our Company was founded as a Liquor Liability Insurance Company in 1950 by a new law firm as a means of generating defense work for their firm. Throughout our nearly 72 years in

business we have maintained that commitment to the food and beverage industry and to providing rigorous defense to our policyholders at the time of claim. We recognize that establishments serving and selling alcohol require unique insurance protection. Our

goal is to meet the full range of business insurance needs for our clients in the food and beverage industry. Our dedication has helped ICC earn the respect of our agents, policyholders, and key organizations in our industry. Today, we are in 12 states and offer

Business owners, Liquor Liability, Worker’s Compensation and Umbrella liability to our clients.

Our Dedication to the Hospitality Industry

As a key insurance carrier for the food and beverage industry, package liquor stores fit perfectly within ICC’s specialty. We have a specific program for package liquor store operators and proudly write several CLBA/CILSU members. ICC’s Package Liquor Store brochure

can be found here. A variety of other programs can also be found on our website.

 

We recognize the various benefits between industry associations like the CLBA and their members. Associations provide value to members by being the voice of the industry in government and public relations, providing programs, and creating opportunities for member involvement. ICC encourages membership and provides a premium discount to CILSU members who purchase insurance through our independent agency partners.
