Think Beyond Frivolous Lawsuits
♫ Thursday, June 16th, 2011It is true that today’s culture has bred a litigious society. People can and will sue for everything and anything, even if it isn’t actually your fault. You can read about frivolous lawsuits every day.
Some of these cases are idiotic, many are obviously ignorant about the realities of running a business, and some are almost silly, but no matter how baseless a lawsuit is on the merits if the court issues a judgment against your business you could be out thousands or even millions of dollars in a true judicial massacre.
You need liability insurance to protect you from those sorts of miscarriages of justice where your company was not in any way at fault, but, even more importantly, you need good well thought out liability coverage for those times when it is your fault.
Nobody is perfect. That is a simple fact – not an excuse. Commentators often discuss frivolous lawsuits, but the truth is that courts have gotten a lot tougher on frivolous lawsuits in the last twenty years. Generally, frivolous lawsuits are no more than a hassle.
What you should lose sleep about if you don’t have liability coverage is that day when everything that can go wrong does go wrong. That’s what happened on the Titanic and that’s happened at Pearl Harbor and it can happen to your business. What’s the worst case scenario? Have you ever really thought about it?
Do you run a business where if one of your employees did not do their job correctly that a customer, or even worse a random citizen, could be maimed or even killed? How many times a day do your employees perform these potentially deadly tasks?
If you don’t have liability coverage you are trusting that those employees will do the job exactly right every single time? Do you trust your employees that much?
