How to reduce the risk of a lawsuit

Perform high quality work within the scope of your expertise.

Only use subcontractors who also do high quality work and will stand behind that work for years to come.

Be sure to respond quickly to any alledged defective workmanship issue.

Buy the Full Occurrence form of Commercial General Liability Insurance.

Be sure your subcontractors are insured and name you as an additional insured.

Maintain insurance year after year with no gaps in coverage.
