Hey Frank, Yes you can be held liable for what's called "errors and ommisions" which is basically...your mistake costs the customer money. Now the insurance for this is EXPENSIVE unless you can find the right underwriter. We had a hell of a time recently (in Canada) trying to find one. We did eventually, but it may have been a lucky one time deal...so we paid about $1500 instead of about $4500 for a year (that's E&O plus liability for having peole on the premises).
All that said....many folks will suggest....just work as normal and hire a good lawyer if you get sued...ends up costing you the same in the end ;-) My partner has been a programmer since the Commodore Vic 20 and he's never had a problem.
