Why businesses need liability insurance?

[Phantasm]

A business owner needs liability insurance because he or she is legally liable for accidents that happen on the premises of the business, whether it's a manufacturing plant or a restaurant. The insurance pays his or her legal costs in case of such accidents and any subsequent lawsuits. Without liability insurance, a company would be paying their own legal fees out-of-pocket if they did not have sufficient coverage under the threshold amount mandated by law.
