I am a sole proprietor of a home health care company, and I can honestly say that I have not had a single liability claim filed against me during my entire career. Not one.
The thing is, I’m a sole proprietor of a home health care company, and I don’t have a single liability claim against a single owner.
The reason I keep doing this is because I don’t like being out of work and need to put in some extra time on my own. I don’t know why Im like this. I never had a single liability claim filed against me during my entire career. Not one.
I can’t blame you for being a little skeptical of me. But the reality is that I have not filed a single claim against an individual owner for my personal injuries. I just work for a company and I think there is a difference between just a corporation and an individual. A corporation is a legal entity and can be sued in general. A person who is not an owner can sue for personal injuries. If you are an owner, then your personal injury claim against you can be filed personally.
You can sue someone personally if you have suffered bodily injury. In the U.S. for example, the plaintiff in a personal injury suit must prove that he or she was a member of the class of persons for whom the defendant ought to have provided the care (ie. they are the victim of the alleged negligence). In other words, even if you are an owner in a corporation (with the exception of a sole proprietor), you can have a personal injury claim against you.
That’s right. You can have a personal injury claim against you but it can be difficult to prove. In the U.S. for example, the plaintiff in a personal injury suit must prove that he or she was a member of the class of persons for whom the defendant ought to have provided the care ie. they are the victim of the alleged negligence.
As with any other type of tort liability, the burden of proof lies with the defendant. And to prove this, you need to show by a preponderance of the evidence that you were injured, that the defendant had the right to control the care given to the victim, and that the victim was in fact a member of the class of persons for whom the defendant ought to have provided the care.
This is a tricky one, because sole proprietors are generally the ones who decide how to run their business. So if you are a sole proprietor, you can’t get away with telling a jury you did nothing wrong because you decided to run an illegal gambling business. Even if you got your liquor license from the state, you could find yourself on trial for “negligence” if you decide to open a gambling casino.
This is especially tricky because so many states have different rules about who can run a business and who qualifies as a “member” of the business. In New York, for example, gambling is not allowed. If you are a sole proprietor, you can, however, run a business in which you are the only one who can make profits. If you are a sole proprietor in New York, you can also be sued for negligence and be held liable for your business partners.
That’s all well and good, but what about a sole proprietor in another state? The answer is that the same legal requirements apply to both states.
