However, one should always be aware of the risks that can turn a career upside down.<\/p><h4>Lawsuit Defence Costs<\/h4><p>Even if the claim has no ground, you\u2019ll still need to defend yourself.

If the board finds you negligent, you could face suspension or lose your license completely.<\/p><h4>Damaged Reputation<\/h4><p>A legal dispute can become public.
