It really depends on the use to which you are putting the real estate. For example, if a store was operated on the land, a liability policy insuring all co-owners is recommended. However, if it is raw., unimproved land, likely not. Nonetheless, if you are aware that there are hazards on the property (such as an open well) and that people go onto the property, you may have a duty to warn. Liability insurance may be available in those circumstances.

What are the benefits of Contingent liability insurance?

If you are a property owner, particularly a landlord, contingent liability insurance can be a very useful coverage in the event of a partial loss. Specifically, it covers the cost that might be incurred if part of the structure, though not damaged by the incident (fire, for instance) had to be torn down because of a local ordinance or law that required doing so. This coverage is important because the insurance company will pay the landlord/owner for the damaged (lost) portion of the building, but will not pay to demolish the undamaged portion, or to remove the debris created during demolition. This is a significant exposure for older buildings which were not built to current building code, and is a risk that increases along with the size of the structure. Most good commercial insurance policies will include Ordinance or Law coverage, which covers all three exposures: 1 Demolotion of the undamaged portion of the building.2 The increased cost of construction for bringing the buidling up to code when rebuilt.3 The cost to remove the debris resulting from demoltion or loss.

What are the foundations of contractual liability?

Contractual liability is defined as liability that does not arise by way of negligence, but by assumption under contract or agreement. Although it is frequently misunderstood, this type of liability is critical in the insurance and risk management industries. It is common in business agreements (written or oral), for one party to assume the liability of another. This is sometimes referred to as a hold harmless agreement. The full extent to which one holds another harmless varies from project to project, contract to contract, job to job and so on. To assume liability of another is risky and increases your exposure to loss. That is why insurance is required. Contractual liability insurance is usually provided with commercial liability insurance - but you should always ask your agent to make sure. There will also be some exceptions and limitations, so again ask your agent and thoroughly read through your policy so that you know what is and what is not covered. Outside of insurance, contractual liability has a broad meaning - it's basically a promise that may be upheld in court. For example, say you agree to build someone a deck for $600 and collect $300 as a retainer prior to starting the job. In the meantime, a higher paying project comes along and you never show up to put on the deck. The other party can take you to court and collect the original $300 that they paid you. You were in breach of contract and therefore they had a justified contractual liability claim.
