Every business owner should have safe guards in place to protect them from potential legal landmines.
Hello, I’m attorney Mark Klein and I have served as legal council for hundreds of small businesses during my 30 plus years in practice. You know we all laugh at the absurdity of stories like the one of the woman who spilled scalding coffee on herself yet sued MacDonalds and won – or that Winnebago had to pay out damages to an RV owner who caused an accident when the driver left their seat with the cruise control activated. Yet finding yourself in the crosshairs of a similar lawsuit is no laughing matter.
Consider a few of these alarming statistics. Seven out of ten new businesses fail after in the first five years leaving the business owners with expensive liability exposure – or that the average person in the United States experiences five lawsuits during their lifetime. The odds are that any one of them could be financially devastating or that the U.S. has 5% of the world’s population yet 70% of the world’s attorneys.
Since business owners are busy running their companies, many neglect of delay securing necessary legal protection thereby unnecessarily exposing the businesses to risk. I welcome your call to schedule a complimentary consultation where we can identify potential problems specific to your business then put in place safeguards to prevent them. Again, I’m Mark Klein business law attorney who makes your business, my business.
