Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
Liability for an errand service.
I will be moving soon to Florida and opening up a small errand service. What do I need to cover myself and my clients from legal action? For example, I am asked by an attorney to take documents to the courthouse and I am in an accident and the papers do not make it to the courthouse in time or are lost/destroyed. Another example: If I were on an errand for a business and hurt someone in the process. Would that person be able to hold the company who hired me to perform the service liable for their injury?
Thank you.

Re: Liability for an errand service.
It appears you need to meet with a business lawyer to discuss the insurance coverages your business should obtain and the policies, procedures and agreements it should have in place to reduce its liability exposure in relation to a variety of claims. The issues you raied cannot be fully and adequately addressed with a simple reply via cyberspace.
