Put simply, liability is a legal obligation to pay for damages, losses, or negligent acts. In other words, liability is a type of responsibility that one individual or entity may have to another. Put another way: When you agree to be legally responsible for something, you are taking on a liability.<\/p>\n<p>In the business context, liability covers a wide range of potential issues. It can refer to the warranties or guarantees offered by a company, responsibility for a product or service, or responsibility for employee or company negligence. From faulty products to investor negligence to oversight of contractual provisions and employment law issues, liability can be complex.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoiding Liability Through Risk Management<\/h2>\n<p>No matter the size of your organization, liability is something that you must take seriously.
