What law school did you go to?
Since when does one have to go to a law school to have witnessed someone have a problem that went to court. Also the company I worked for wanted the service techs to make note of problems not noted on the SO leaving a warning tag. One service trainer was fond of saying the one who pays the settlement is the one who stutters first.
That's fine for a garage service facility, hopefully licensed and qualified. But this thread is about private parties - friends and relatives. Difficult to prove liability in this case.
We're talking about liability here not the OP winning or losing, which law school did you go to? It's very possible that someone can and will blame the OP if something goes wrong, the OP would have to prove they're not responsible and maybe the OP would win...but maybe the OP would lose, you have no idea what's going to happen.
The only thing we're saying is that something that
is guaranteed is that if this person decides to file a claim, the OP is going to have to spend time and money and plead their case. What kind of idiot would volunteer to go through that? Because it's "difficult to prove liability"? I'm sure that would comfort any rational person
, have fun with that.
