To be liable means simply that you are found to be legally responsible. If you are liable for injury to someone or found responsible for damage to another’s property, you can be sued for damages. No one likes to imagine being sued. But accidents happen, and if one does occur and you’re deemed negligent, you could find yourself with a hefty settlement.
Liability insurance is essential because it helps protect you from financial losses that may occur due to a lawsuit.
