Thanks Dean. Oh well I know....

 

as I think I said, when i was married before, my "then" husband and I were sued by his best friend of 25years when he got hurt on our place.

 

This last year, my business, a nonprofit organization with a annual budget of a grand total of $30,000, was sued by a woman who got hurt on a semi trailer. The trailer just happened to have the name of my organizaiton on it because the owner of the trailer is a member of our group. We had nothing to do with the trailer or its contents, but a lawyer found a way to connect us. We have an umbrella liability policy. it took a year, but our lawyer got us removed from the lawsuit, sigh.... Imagine paying for all that without insurance!

 

I do have good liability insurance for my farm and for my riding instruction business. But i don't want to use it.

I consider myself something of an expert on this subject. My wife and I have owned and operated our own manufacturing business for the past 18 years. Approximately 5 years ago we were sued by a disgruntled employee and we did not have employee practice insurance.

You would also learn that no good deed will be left unpunished. Something you would think would be a
