How does business law apply to everyday life? What are some examples?

Business law

Business law is the set of regulations and rules that govern how businesses operate and interact with each other in terms of legal structure, financing, and so on.

What can be applied to everyday life

Many business concepts can be applied to everyday life. For example, when getting married, "pre-nuptial agreements" are used to protect assets in the event of a divorce. This just means that each spouse outlines what they plan on taking with them should they ever leave the marriage and never return or get back together: bank accounts, cars, etc.

Product liability

For another example, "product liability" is a concept that protects consumers from manufacturers getting out of responsibility for defective products by stating that if someone was injured by an item (or their property was damaged), it's ultimately up to the company to prove that their product was not defective or otherwise dangerous.

Consumer rights

If a product is found to be defective or harmful due to negligence on the part of the company, then they are held responsible for any damages caused by those defects or injuries. This applies to your life because you have certain rights as a consumer in your purchases. If you buy something that proves defective or dangerous but isn't labeled as such, then you're due some type of compensation for your losses and injuries.

Business law is everywhere

Business law is everywhere, and it can be a tricky thing to wrap your head around. It might seem like something that only applies to corporations and business owners—and while that's true, it definitely influences our everyday life. There are lots of ways you interact with business law every day—from taxes to employment regulations to how you deal with customers at work—even if you don't think about it as business law.

Can long-distance relatives have a claim to an inheritance?

Image
  Jan Meriss Alfonso Assistant at  Parklin Law You may be too young to remember this, but there was a time when long-distance relationships were a lot more difficult to maintain. Before the days of cell phones and email, your options were limited. And let's be honest: If a person is truly in love with you, are they really going to care about the few extra hours it takes to send a letter over the weekend? Inheritance The answer seems pretty obvious: Of course, long-distance relatives have a claim on an inheritance. As long as they're related to you, they deserve their slice of whatever you leave behind! The law When you've got distant relatives, it's natural to want to keep in touch with them and maybe even invite them to family events like weddings or funerals. But if you're the inheritor of a large estate, you might have a problem if certain long-distance relatives try to lay claim to your inheritance. The law is clear on this issue: only heirs who have a physical ...

Can I go abroad if my divorce case is still open?

  Jan Meriss Alfonso Assistant at Ascent Law LLC When it comes to traveling while your divorce is still pending, you have a few different options. There are Travel-Limited divorces and Domestic Relations Injunctions. In addition, if you have children, you may be able to travel with them. Travel-limited divorces When traveling abroad, it's important to comply with all the requirements of the divorce decree. The decree should specify whether you're allowed to travel internationally and what you'll need to do before you leave. If the divorce decree does not specify the travel rules, you'll need to request court permission in advance. To find out whether your divorce judgment will be recognized in a foreign country, you need to contact the appropriate U.S. diplomatic mission or consulate. Consular offices and embassies usually have lists of lawyers who practice in a particular country. You can also try contacting your state's attorney general for more information. If yo...

Can Filing For Bankruptcy Help You Get a Fresh Start Financially?

  Can  Filing For Bankruptcy  Help You Get a Fresh Start Financially? Whether you’ve recently lost your job, had a major medical emergency, or run up too many bills, filing for bankruptcy may be the solution you need. Although it may seem like a daunting task, there are many advantages to filing for bankruptcy. In addition to the financial benefits, bankruptcy can also give you a fresh start. Debts Filing for bankruptcy will not eliminate all of your debts. Some debts, such as credit cards, will remain on your credit report. However, there are certain types of debt that are completely eliminated in bankruptcy. These debts include student loans, child support, tax obligations, and alimony. The bankruptcy law is designed to give you the best possible start, but it’s important to keep in mind that you are still responsible for your debts. You’ll have to pay the bills and you’ll have to make sure your accounts are up-to-date. While bankruptcy can give you a fresh start, it do...
