I am just making a business plan or you could say a new business model and wanted to see if i could adk a legal question for free?
Of course, ****. FreeLawChat is here to help you with your legal queries. What specific question do you have regarding your new business plan/model? Please also let me know your location as laws vary by region.
I am working on a new product concept. It fits into a going new transportation industry called eVTOLs. As this product will be inherently subject to large liabilities i am formulating a possible method to help mitigate these concerns.
Hello ****, eVTOLs is indeed a rapidly evolving industry with specific regulations. Could you please let me know your location so I can provide accurate information as laws vary by region? Also, could you specify the kind of liabilities you're referring to?
I am in the United States of America and plan on bringing to market a product that falls under the Ultralight Aircraft category of yhe FAA. I am specifically in Ohio but the intent would be to offer the product with very specific user certifications and requirements and only to markets fitting into the company's business legal model.
Hello ****, for your business concept, you need to adhere to FAA regulations, specifically Part * for Ultralight Vehicles. You may also need:
- Manufacturer and dealer license
- Product liability insurance
- User certification requirements, with a clear user agreement.
Please consult with a local aviation attorney for specifics.
My question is independent of these items you mentioned as i am already both aware of your previous statements. My question is a bigger picture liability mitigation question.
I see, ****. In terms of broad liability mitigation strategies, you might consider:
- Creating a thorough risk assessment and management plan
- Implementing stringent quality control measures
- Ensuring robust user training and strict compliance with user certifications
- Establishing clear terms and conditions
These are general suggestions, for specific advice, consult with a local business attorney.
Thank you for the assistance
