These effects also harm the community because people will be afraid of going out.

“Liabilities are debts: money you owe. Every business carries some liabilities—for example, ongoing payments to suppliers, rent for your office, compensation to employees, or fees for contractors” (Mancuso, 2014).

a) Contingent liabilities are potential losses by a company via unforeseen evenst such as court cases, product liability, or disaster.

In the case of BP, amounts that the company can recover from third parties as part of its contractual rights can be considered contingent assets.
