[RE-wrenches] Liability

[Maverick Brown [Maverick Solar]]

Since the invention of the lawyer and insurance agent, there has alway been liability. Your hourly. Barge includes money that goes to both of them. You should carry $1M policy and have working relationship with an attorney (that is. It a family member). 

As a practical matter, we complete a Service Report in writing to give to the customer and we take digital photos before, during and after each visit. Those photos are stored in a customer folder forever (and sync'd off-site via DropBox). 

Thank you,

Maverick

I went up there to look at the site and it was a mess.  System lacked OCPDs, there were gouges in the insulation of the wires, loose terminals, nothing ran in conduit, etc...  I was called up there to see why the generator was not auto starting.  I got the auto start working, expressed my concern to the tenant about the workmanship and left.  Now I'm wondering whether I should have touched the system at all.  What would you do?  Is there liability here?
