A homeowner accidentally injured a guest on their property, resulting in a $500,000 lawsuit. Their umbrella insurance covered the expenses beyond their homeowners policy limit.

Benefit	Description

In 2010, a small business in the Midwest was facing a major risk. The business was located in an area that was prone to flooding. The business had never experienced flooding before, but there was a severe storm approaching that was expected to bring heavy rains.

The business owner had purchased flood insurance, but he was not sure if it would be enough to cover the costs of a flood. He decided to implement a risk management plan to reduce the impact of the flood.

The plan included the following steps:

Moving inventory to higher ground
Sandbagging the building
Boarding up windows and doors
Developing a contingency plan in case the business was flooded

The storm brought heavy rains, but the flooding was not as severe as expected. The business owner’s risk management plan helped to prevent the business from suffering any major damage.
