To protect yourself from business lawsuits, shield yourself from personal liability exposure, make sure you have a comprehensive general liability policy in place, and have well-drafted company policies and procedures, such as an employee handbook, in place. If your business is sued, call your lawyer, tender an insurance claim, allow your lawyer to speak for you, investigate the allegations, assess your potential liability exposure, formulate a plan of defense, and strive for a settlement based on sound business judgment.
