Re: media liability insurance? (Linda McIntyre)

**C* B* <c*@twcny.rr.com>**

Hi List,
I looked into this insurance years ago when a contract I was proposing  
to sign contained scary lawyer language about my liability for  
anything I wrote.  I was told then that potential suers go after the  
"deep pockets" which I am not!  My contract does require me to assist  
with the defense.  But I didn't bother purchasing any special  
insurance and haven't given it another thought.  I am very careful  
about pesticide recommendations and always write "as directed by the  
label."  I suppose another issue might be trees. My approach there is  
that if you have concerns about a tree consult a certified arborist.   
Don't mess with chain saws, ladders, powerlines etc. etc.  Can anyone  
else think of other problems that might get a garden writer into  
lawsuit country?  Giant hogweed as an ornamental?
