In the most general sense, a liability is anything that is a hindrance, or puts individuals at a disadvantage. In financial accounting, a liability is defined as an obligation of an entity arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of which may result in the transfer or use of assets, provision of services or other yielding of economic benefits in the future. Individual or group must adopt corporate charter and file it with the state. Liabilities in financial accounting need not be legally enforceable; but can be based on equitable obligations or constructive obligations. An equitable obligation is a duty based on ethical or moral considerations. A constructive obligation is an obligation that can be inferred from a set of facts in a particular situation as opposed to a contractually based obligation. The accounting equation relates assets, liabilities, and owner's equity

12. How much is enough?
November 14, 2008
It’s a sad fact that auto insurance is a boring subject. The only reason we tolerate it is that all but three states in the union have passed laws requiring us to have it. Were it not for that, we would all just let it die. So the eternal question we ask each other when we have nothing better to do is, “How much is enough?” Every state with a compulsory system starts off with a statutory minimum. This is the amount of liability insurance we must carry if we are to be lawful on the public roads. Failure to have this insurance in place results in a fine for the first offense. Repeat offenders f... (read more)
