In today’s business environment, where lawsuits are commonplace, a new commercial enterprise needs to consider many different types of insurance. One very important type is product liability insurance. You may think you only need product liability if you manufacture an item. But you must also have it if you refurbish, distribute, or sell the item. In fact, if you have anything at all to do with a product reaching the public, you need to be insured against mishaps. There are many situations in which a person or business could consider suing you. Perhaps the item you make, sell, distribute, or handle in any way is defective and a person or property is injured by using it. Perhaps the product wasn’t even defective, but the purchaser misused it. One might think that responsibility would fall on the user, but contemporary wisdom says there should have been a warning displayed on the item prohibiting such use. Your business also needs to be protected against workers being harmed by handling what you sell and by claims of false advertising and such. All in all, if you’ve put hard work into starting and maintaining your business, you’ll want to make sure that it is not ruined by lawsuits, just or unjust, that threaten to undermine your financial stability. That protection is easy to obtain when you purchase product liability insurance.
