Being sued

Accidents, mistakes and misunderstandings can happen in any business. Sometimes these grow into full-blown disputes, and before you know it, you are facing a legal claim.

But unless you are clearly at fault, or fail to follow the court procedures correctly, the odds are in your favour.
