Liability lawsuit testimony
'You need to set up entities to protect you from lawsuit liability' is the general advice.
In my area, liability insurance cost $22 per year for 300k
Somebody needs to explain me, what can happen, which is due to my negligence and cost more than 300k?
Besides the 1 in a million times event which they talk on TV, I would be curious to know how many of you landlords have been in a lawsuit and how much it cost you.
There are thousands of landlords on BP so that should give us a ‘statistically relevant sample’
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Almost any injury/liability issue serious enough to be sued over, in which a jury finds you liable, could easily cost over $300k. Attorney bills, expert witness fees, damages...
If you really think that $300k is so large an amount as to be almost impossible, you're not thinking hard enough.
