What Is
Contingent Liability Cover ?
Contingent liability refers to a potential financial obligation that may arise in the future, depending on the outcome of a specific event or circumstance. These liabilities are uncertain in terms of both their occurrence and the amount involved. Examples of contingent liabilities include lawsuits, product warranties, and pending regulatory investigations. Businesses need to manage and prepare for contingent liabilities to mitigate their potential impact on the company's financial health and stability.
Effectively managing contingent liabilities is a critical aspect of sound business management and financial planning. By proactively identifying, assessing, and addressing potential liabilities, businesses can minimise their impact on the company's financial health and ensure long-term stability and success
