Prepare a paper that is at least 1,400 words that addresses the following:
Describe potential torts that might reasonably arise in that workplace.
Identify the types of tort law that would apply to your selected business.
Explore how the business should protect itself from tort liability. Include an assessment of
insurance options that can help to minimize risk.
Analyze how you might advise the business to protect itself in the future. The owner
expects a substantive answer, not simply a recommendation to refer matters to an
attorney. The majority of businesses in the United States do not have staff counsel, and no
owner wants to spend money getting legal advice until they know why legal assistance may
be needed (i.e., after you provide an assessment). In your analysis, identify the tort law
principles that support your recommendations.
Include 3-5 references, other than the text, 2-3 of which are peer reviewed.
Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines, which includes an introduction,
in-text citations, a conclusion and a reference page. All substantive portions, including subcategories within the body of the paper, must include headings. Please refer to the example
of a properly formatted APA paper that is available in the Center for Writing Excellence in
the university library.
