Exercise Diligence When Leaving an Online Review
A Negative Online Review Can Leave Your Liable
Everyone today is connected in some way to social media. It can be by Facebook, Yelp, email or other internet outlets. When you write something, you leave your fingerprint for everyone to see. If you go to a restaurant, dentist, daycare or other business and have a bad experience, you might think of writing a bad review on the company’s Facebook page or Yelp. If you decide to do this, it is important to exercise caution about how you word your experience as recent cases have shown you can be sued for libel – even if you think the review was justified. This can be a very frightening situation and how on earth can you afford to pay attorney fees? What do you do?
If you have the right coverage on your homeowners insurance, you likely have protection for these personal offenses such as libel, slander or defamation of character. If you receive a lawsuit, you need to contact your homeowners insurance claim’s department right away. The claims department will defend you and pay for damages up to certain limits on your policy. If you want to be extra cautious, you can get an umbrella insurance policy that would give you coverage above and beyond your homeowners policy for attorney fees and any damages awarded. It is important to understand your home or renters insurance.

A Accelerated Auto Insurance was founded in 1992 by a group of independent insurance agents. Their vision was to provide affordable auto insurance rates to all customers regardless of driving record or credit history. This vision allowed them to quickly build a large, loyal customer base. In 2006 Jared Fuller began his career with Accelerated Insurance as a customer service representative. Over the next 10 years Accelerated expanded its reach to offer home and business insurance in addition to auto. In 2015 Jared’s wife, Cristy Fuller, also started working for the company. During the year 2016, they became the sole owners of Accelerated Insurance. Advances in technology allow Jared, Cristy, and a small staff to continue to grow while still providing excellent service to their existing policy holders. They continue to maintain the same vision of savings and service for Northeast Louisiana.
