	Ease legal liability for mine safety: PM - National - smh.com.au
		LAWS governing occupational health and safety and criminal liability for mine managers should be overhauled to ensure more certainty for resource projects, the Prime Minister, John Howard, has urged.
		The letter asks the premiers to agree that state and federal officials bring a proposal to the meeting "that would ensure that safety responsibilities are apportioned to all parties (organisations or individuals) to the extent that they have control and influence over the operation of the mine".
		The act deems managers and directors personally liable for safety offences committed by companies unless they can prove they were not able to influence the company.

	Home Insurance - Legal Liability for Landscaping Help
		After an accident, you may be financially liable for the worker's injuries and disabilities, and your homeowners insurance policy may not cover you in the event of a lawsuit.
		One of the factors used to determine if you are liable for a worker's injury is whether the person is considered your employee or is a contractor (or subcontractor).
		In addition to the liability coverage provided under your homeowners policy, you may want to consider additional liability coverage to protect your assets in the event of a liability judgment that exceeds the limits of your homeowners insurance.

	General Rules for Proving Fault in Accidents (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Legal liability for almost all accidents is determined by this rule of carelessness, and by one or more of the following simple propositions:
		If the injured person was where he or she was not supposed to be, or somewhere he or she should have expected the kind of activity which caused the accident, the person who caused the accident might not be liable because that person had no "duty" to be careful toward the injured person.
		If an accident is caused on property that is dangerous because it is poorly built or maintained, the owner of the property is liable for being careless in maintaining the property, regardless of whether he or she actually created the dangerous condition.

	Children’s and youth workers: your legal liability
		Far more tragic, however, is the emotional trauma to the victim and the enormous potential legal liability the church faces.
