Liability and Legal Action
January 17, 2017
It’s no secret that the United States is a very litigious country. Sometimes the more “interesting” interpretations that people use regarding codes, standards, design etc. tend to be more influenced by fear of lawsuits. I have had this conversation with many people over the years. There are many reasons that legal action may be taken but this week’s question is very specific. It refers to: Liability from accident, injury, death, equipment failure. It applies to both the Plaintiff and Defendant.
