Message: [QUOTE="DonaldDraper, post: 2868637, member: 1022"] I had the pleasure of being served last week. I know there are some lawyers here so I figured I’d try. I live in VA. My sprinkler system company punctured a gas line in my lawn. It was marked correctly but the gas line was put in in the late 50s and was like 4 inches under the grass. The sprinkler system company called 911 as they are supposed to and the gas company/fire dept came out immediately. It was a small gas line (1/4 inch) for my lantern. The sprinkler company is a real company but a bit of a redneckish 3 person operation and not a big company. 18 months later I get served cause my sprinkler system company didn’t pay the $4600 that Washington gas charged for the fix. There are three defendants on the case, two people from the company and me as the homeowner. I called the sprinkler system company and they said they are sorry I was named on this and will try to get a lawyer to fight this as the charge is crazy for 4 guys to come to my house for an hour to fix the line. Anyhow, given the fact that I contracted an actual company to do this and they have told me they will accept responsibility, is there something that they can formally give me to state they are releasing me or assuming my responsibility? Is there a template I can hand to them? If I’m responsible for 1/3 of 4600 I’m probably better off just paying the 1500ish over getting a lawyer, which is why I’m hoping someone here has a reasonable solution. I appreciate any help you can offer. [/QUOTE]
