# Risk Management & Liability Assessment ## CONTEXT Businesses face an average of three significant legal claims over a ten-year period, with the average cost of defending a lawsuit exceeding $100,000 even when the claim lacks merit. Proactive risk management programs reduce the frequency of claims by approximately 35% and lower insurance premiums by 10 to 20%.
