Reasonable forseeability is expanding

From a legal perspective, the net is widening with regard to "what you should have seen coming" based on your previous experiences.

Be proactive

When a situation arises, hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Preserve evidence. Notify legal counsel. Conduct a thorough investigation of the incident.

The best defense is a good offense

Should you have to defend a claim, be able to demonstrate that you did everything possible to prevent the situation from happening in the first place.
