Lawsuit Statistics Are Staggering
The employment lawsuit explosion should concern every California business owner: over 45,000 lawsuits are filed each day in the United States, and more than 50 percent of business owners have been sued. Could your company be next? Dollar amounts awarded in California employment lawsuits range from $275,000 into the millions.
California business protection documents are a bargain compared with the large amount of money that must be paid out when defending a lawsuit.
More than half the companies interviewed in a recent survey reported they had been sued at least once by an employee or ex-employee in the past five years. And claims against business owners are increasing at levels not seen in two decades, according to statistics from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Our business protection documents were drafted by a licensed California attorney and are updated regularly.

If you own a California company, big or small, or if you provide professional services, the odds are that within six years you will be sued in an employment lawsuit. California business protection documents help to protect against this happening and increase your chance of a favorable outcome if a lawsuit cannot be averted.
What You Could Lose in an Employment Lawsuit
Your business, assets, and even personal property could be at risk. What many business owners and professionals forget is that even if they are right and even if they win in a lawsuit, defending themselves in court could cost up to $100,000. Historically, judges and juries have not ruled favorably to businesses in employment lawsuits. Should you lose, the damages against you could easily be awarded at $275,000, and costs could extend into the millions.
How to Protect Your Business
California business protection documents are a fast and inexpensive way to reduce your chances of employment lawsuits being filed against you. In the event a lawsuit does occur, your odds of a favorable outcome are greatly increased if you’ve used professional attorney-drafted documents in conducting your business.
Without professionally written documents to show a judge, business owners in court don’t have much of a defense. Generic or low-quality forms may actually be worse than none at all. While attorney-drafted documents don’t guarantee a ruling in your favor, they strongly increase the chance of your success.
