Lions Hear About
Liability Risks
Lion E M King spoke to fellow
members of the luons Club Tues-
day. speaking on the theme, “You
don't have to be rich to be sued ’’
He spoke of the liability one as-
sumes even when a friend or ac-
quaintance calls at your home in
that, if a person should fall, slip,
or otherwise injure himself, le-
gally. the home owner is liable
for damages to that person.
L'on King gave one example,
telling of a mailman who stepped
upon a porch, inadvertantly step-
ped on a roller skate one of the
children had left on the porch,
fell, and broke his back, paralyz-
ing him permanently from the
waist down The mailman sued
and was awarded many thousands
of dollars damage
The point laon King was mak-
' ing was that insurant* companies
write policies to protect the indi-
vidual from suits similar to the
one above and can be incorporat-
ed with other insurance policies
