Did you know that on average one out of every three businesses in the world will be sued for some liability? This is a huge number especially since many of these businesses get sued more than once. Trust me when I say this, as a business you need to have liability insurance because the amount that you would have to pay in case of damages would be a lot more than you would pay for the insurance itself.
The problem that many businesses have these days is they allow people to walk into their building (which is a must for many businesses). Now if a customer slips and falls it would be classified as a injury liability and it would be up to you to either prove that it was not something that you could have prevented or pay the customers medical bills and whatever else they see fit. This is where most business owners cringe because they know that it was more the customers fault then theirs but this is all part of running a business and there is not much you can do about it.
Getting protection from liability is something that most businesses do but they don’t all know how it is going to save them. Although you won’t be able to send the insurance company to court for you, they will be there to pay the bills because of it. Let’s say that you are losing $5,000 per month while the hearing is going on, you are spending $10,000 on an attorney and you still need to pay the person who I suiting you. Depending on how much insurance you have, the insurance company is responsible for paying your lost wages, the cost of the attorney and any investigator, and the amount owed to the plaintiff. Trust me, liability insurance is there to protect your business from all liabilities and as you can see, you can be held liable for just about everything.
