If you own and operate a hotel, you likely already know that there are many things you need to keep track of.

In light of the current litigious society we live in it may be time for your church to take another look at your church insurance liability coverage. Unlike property that have known values, general liability insurance deals with unknown values. An insurance company is unable to put a price tag on a liability claim, or even determine if there will be a liability claim. Anyone can sue for any amount they want.
