The story is: the residential client is really pissed off at the landscape contractor who did their back yard. So, they are suing him for a little over $140,000 for the work he did and a whole bunch of other stuff (owner fell down, dog got sick, etc).
The thing is we had a contract directly with the owner (i.e. plaintiff). The owner paid us directly. I did not have a contract with the landscape contractor.
We provided electrical service at the BBQ and the Waterfall, plus a few other outlets around the yard. We also repaired and installed some lighting on the house (very minor).
Owner was happy, we were "somewhat" happy and that was it.
Now they have decided to sue anyone and everyone that was near their house. Because I have a working relationship with the landscape contractor, they have named me and the plumber that was there, in their lawsuit.
I did read the complaint and saw absolutely nothing referencing any of the work we did, zip, nothing.
Anyway, I have contacted a construction attorney and will be getting together with them and go over this.
Anybody else have similar experiences.
