About this episode

Rich Sierra discusses the critical steps business owners should take within the first 48 hours of being served with legal papers.

That knock on the door. That envelope from the process server. Getting sued is one of the most stressful things a business owner can face — and the decisions you make in the first 48 hours can determine how the entire case plays out. In this episode, Rich Sierra walks you through the five steps every business owner needs to take immediately: don't panic but don't ignore it, read and understand the papers, get an attorney involved before your deadline runs, notify your insurance carrier before you lose coverage, and preserve every document, email, and text message before you destroy evidence you didn't know you needed. The time to learn this is before it happens — not after.
