Lawsuits Come From Unexpected Places To Destroy Your Small Business

Ok. This may not happen on your website or Facebook page. Your business isn't like this. That doesn't mean a lawsuit can't come from an unexpected source. And it can ruin your business if you aren't prepared,

So, according to this small business article on Small Business Trends blog, a woman sued the owner of a website for something that a reader placed in the comments. The site is called The Dirty and it is owned by Nik Ritchie. So you can get an idea of where this is going.

This was bound to happen with a business model where mock and ridicule of others are the weapons. And not much effort given to help those that have fallen. You reap what you sow...usually.

But that doesn't mean the same thing can't happen to your business. Sometimes weeds grow in your garden. As seen in this case, all it takes is one customer to "slip and fall" on your web page.

One solution would be to moderate your comments. Some of you don't want to be control freaks but after something like this, it is safer to do this.

Also, talk to your attorney to make sure that your web pages are not a liability to your small business. It seems it is not only what you say that can obligate your firm. Others can say things that hurt you too.
