How about a statement I saw in a client contract that said the inspector would only be liable for up to the cost of two inspection fees for any oversight or omission. Is that a valid or protective?
How about an LLC? |

An attorney and/or accountant may be more helpful for your questions.

Limitation clauses are upheld in some states but not in others. Corporate structure, i.e LLC per your question, is going to be more for taxation purposes than liability in most cases.

No evidence to support that this works any better than E&O.

Here is how... Mortgage the home, pay a portion from the monthly income from the retirement account, and hope like hell you don't get sick so you can work till you die to pay it off. Reality bites. Get a grip, nothing can protect you from the evil of this sue crazy nation. |
