As one senior male quoted during our investigation, \u2018we do have a door, you know.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>This makes you wonder if superheroes are so\u00a0<em>super<\/em>\u00a0after all. Their actions have probably put many small businesses in the comic universe out of business. So what if they were finally to be held accountable for their actions?<\/p>\n<p>Well, superheroes have alluded to insurance in the past so we\u2019ve drafted up what a potential policy would look like in the comic universe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><em>Superhero Insurance<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>We can arrange insurance to cover your unique service, with a team of advisers\u00a0trained to be discreet and vigilant.

Many countries have laws in place which prevent someone from being held liable if the damage was done whilst the perpetrator was saving a life. These are often referred to as \u2018Good Samaritan Laws\u2019 which, in truth, would let the majority of caped crusaders off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>So now superheroes\u2014and the businesses affected by their haphazard actions\u2014have a solution to live in harmony.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">In conclusion\u2026<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Whilst it\u2019s unlikely your business will be affected by residual damage from an epic superhero battle anytime soon, the world is full of tangible danger including fires, floods, vandalism and cyber-crime.
