Liability

Liability? What does this mean for you?

It’s important to properly manage your liability. Both before and after entering into a contract. After all, an infringement or error can have serious consequences. The link to criminal law is never far away.

If you suffer or cause damage, the first question is: who is responsible or liable for this? Who pays for the damage? And will an insurer intervene? Here are some examples.

• Did you make an error in the performance of your business activities? And does your customer hold you responsible for any damage they’ve suffered?
• Did your contractor cause damage to your home?
• Did you run a red light, causing an accident?
• Were you abusing corporate assets?
• Or are you a victim of violations such as fraud and abuse of trust?
