Business Litigation



A business litigation is the act or process of litigating; a suit at law; a judicial contest against a business. To protect yourself from a business lawsuit, shield yourself from personal and business liability exposure, make sure you have a comprehensive general business liability policy in place, and have well-drafted company policies and procedures, such as an employee handbook, in place. If your business is sued, call your lawyer, tender an insurance claim, allow your lawyer to speak for you, investigate the allegations, assess your potential liability exposure, formulate a plan of defense, and strive for a settlement based on sound business judgment. Please read on to find a business litigation attorney, business litigation lawyer, or to learn more about business litigation.

I am the manager of a pest control office that is being fined $72,000 by the dept. of agriculture. C
There were numerous infractions made by numerous employees while I was the manager. The biggest fines could have been avoided but the owner verbally told me to not do certain things and we ended up getting caught. Is there anyway that the owner could pin this on me since I was the branch manager and he was an out of state owner? I have no proof that he told me to not do these certain things we got fined for. He has not made any indication he would try to pin this on me, but our relationship has gone south and I want to make sure my bases are covered.

If I am aware that John is the rightful holder of an entitlement to a cash award and the time limit for submitting such a claim is rapidly approaching, and I am unaware whether John knows that he is so entitled, or that he knows that the time limit for making his claim for the award is imminent, can I act on this knowledge and make the claim on his behalf in order to preserve his interest without his permission if I am unable to contact him? Additional information If the answer is no, would my intervention be looked at more favorably by the courts if we (John and myself) belonged to a class of persons who were issued the offer of the cash award for performing certain tasks, since I would then be a member of a group that would have been materially affected?

How much in damages is due to my business from a bank when they allowed a third party to open a fal
A dishonest employee opened a business checking account similar in name to my business but not exactly the same at Wells Fargo Bank branch. They then deposited over 25 separate checks over a 3 year period. My name & business name were clearly on the checks, yet Wells Fargo allowed the checks to be deposited in the wrong bank account & then the funds withdrawn. I''m currently pressing embezzlement charges against the employee. My banker at Chase says that the false account should never been allowed to be opened at Wells Fargo because there was no business license or tax ID number for the false business account as required by law and that 25 checks deposited into an account bearing a different name is very unprofessional if not illegal banking practice.
