THIS MONTH'S FEATURE ARTICLE

By Carole Anderson

In today’s shamefully litigious society it seems lawyers run everything. Americans, including those that are responsible for businesses, live in TERROR of being sued. While our rights as Americans guarantee us the right to pursue happiness, true peace and financial security are impossible in today’s society with frivolous, absurd lawsuits flying everywhere.

People that work at home as independent contractors and people that run small businesses have even more potential for being sued than the average Joe.

In today’s America you can get sued for displaying a flag. You can literally be sued for anything. You can get sued for making a remark, and not even a very controversial remark. One lady was sued for literally giving another lady a dirty look as they passed each other entering/exiting a grocery store. A small business owner was sued for paying her rent, on time. Another business owner was sued by an employee who didn’t perform her work. Businesses have been sued for doing absurd things like displaying Christmas trees. While we all laugh at stories like the lady who sued McDonald’s for serving her hot coffee and the man who sued a whole city because the men’s bathroom was full at a sports event, deep down we are terrified that somehow, the same thing could happen to us!

So what if it does happen to you? What if you commit that unspeakable crime of displaying a Christmas tree in front of the wrong person or becoming involved in an accident that may not have even been your fault?

Get ready to empty your pockets. continued...
