What Could You Have Done to Avoid a Lawsuit?
What Could You Have Done to Avoid a Lawsuit?
Wednesday, August 19th | 1 PM (ET)
This free 60-minute webinar is being held on Wednesday, August 19th. Fire alarm contractors perform installations, service work, inspections, and tests on a daily basis without thinking about what would happen if something went wrong. Water damage, false alarms, component damage, personal injury, and loss of revenue are just some of the financial impacts many contractors have to defend themselves from when something goes wrong with a fire alarm system. In many cases the fire alarm company did nothing to warrant the accusations in the lawsuit. This presentation will describe four actual lawsuits against fire alarm contractors, what the contractor did right, what the contractor did wrong, and what the contractor could have done better to avoid the lawsuit altogether. The dollar value of the lawsuits and the final outcomes will be provided.
