Q&A: How does business insurance work in a lawsuit?
Question by ZeeZee: How does business insurance work in a lawsuit?
As a small business, I’m finally getting around to looking at business insurance. God forbid I should get sued, but that would be the only reason I would get insurance at this point.
If I get sued (assuming I did nothing wrong that would terminate coverage), what are my responsibilities with regard to paying legal fees? What role will the insurance company play or what control will they have in the litigation process?

Your liability insurance carrier would be in total control of the litigation process. They would decide whether to settle, go to court, etc. without any input from you. They would also pay all defense costs.
