The litigious climate in which we live makes the purchase of liability insurance a must. The simple act of serving a neighbor coffee that is too hot puts you at risk for lawsuit if the neighbor burns herself. Not to mention the dangers of tree branches that overhang a passage way or omitting to clear your sidewalk of snow or ice, all of which are grounds for winnable lawsuits in the case of a passer-by's injury.
It is mostly taken for granted that every professional who takes part in real estate transactions is fully insured for liability. The agents and brokers who handle the sale, the home inspectors and contractors who certify the condition of the property and the escrow holding company are all liable in the case of a failed. Subsequent to the sale, they may still be liable is the buyer finds that the condition of the property is different from that represented. Real estate is a high stakes market in many areas that could not continue to function without the protection afforded by liability insurance.
The legal profession, aside from generating litigation, is itself often a target. This high profile profession is also quite vulnerable. Individuals who provide professional services, such as lawyers, are contacted for advice in difficult situations. Their decision to represent a client gives no assurance that the client will persevere and when the client losses, he or she often turns to litigation against the legal team to recover their losses. Therefore, a legal profession must be insured to protect the law practice from claims of malpractice, error, or mistake committed or, alleged to have been committed, by the insured in the course of pursuing the clients case.
It is possible that counsellors face the highest liability risk of all service providing professionals. This is due to the sensitive nature of the work they perform, the sensitive nature of many of the clients, and the lack of positive outcome, or "cure" that is seen in most instances. In the Mental Health field, few people are cured and, in cases where individuals are helped, the results are difficult to identify and quantify. The Mental Health professional, or anyone who gives advice as a profession, must protect him or herself from client claims and lawsuits.
Government statistics show that product liability cases represent only 0.002% of lawsuits filed yearly, far outnumbered by new traffic related filings. However business liability lawsuits represent 11% and many of these may involve product liability along with business service liability. It is estimated that just 10% of the people injured by dangerous and defective products actually file a lawsuit for compensation. With statistics such as these, is there really a need for product liability protection?
Sorting through the existing plans that help a worker in times of involuntary unemployment can be confusing. In many countries, there is federal unemployment plan that pays partial salary benefits to unemployed individual. In the United States, the individual states have programs for this purpose and the federal government offers coverage to federal employees. Most countries also protect workers with disability insurance, which covers loss of income due to an inability to work.
Income Protection Insurance is popular in the United Kingdom where it is purchased privately by individuals who want protection similar to that offered by disability insurance in the United States. It operates in much the same way and provides benefits that will mitigate the repercussions of an individual becoming involuntarily unemployed due to accident, illness, including that of family member, and employment downsizing. In most cases, hospitalization and medical benefits are paid and a maximum of 50% of the insured individual's normal salary. The maximum term is one year and it becomes effective, that is benefits are paid after a thirty-day period but are retroactive to day one of the illness or injury.
Even though it is going about things the wrong way round, people often make a decision to purchase a much needed policy only after determining to cost of Income Protection Insurance premiums. Often they let the affordability of Income Protection Insurance determine whether they obtain it or not. Another way to view the issue is to consider that the person who is unsure whether he or she can afford an extra monthly payment, if the kind of person who absolutely cannot afford to be without a monthly income. This is exactly what Income Protection Insurance protects against.
