Preferred term

legal liability  

Definition

  • Legal liability during a crisis pertains to the decisions that may be the basis for a lawsuit. A significant role in managing legal liability requires litigation mitigation, which is characterized by three elements: (1) reduction in the exposure to legal claims, (2) improvement of life safety, and (3) enhancement in property protection.
