Painter at an Occupied Apartment
Hi My family owns a painting company, where we do interior
paintings for apartments. My parents are painters and they have
over 10years of experience and this incident never happened to
us before. This one apartment schedule for us to paint their
interior but it was occupied, meaning the people still lived there.
So, in order for us to paint occupied, the resident have to remove
the furnitures for us. However, when my parents went to the
apartment the lady offered them a water. After the job was done,
my parents left the cold glass on the table and left. However, the
lady who lives there called and asked me to give her our
insurance company's phone number saying that Her table is
damaged because we placed cold glass over it. It was an already
damaged table and it had scratches and damages already, and I
told her if You knew we were coming, you should've taken good
care of it if it's an antique like you say. It's a ridiculous situation,
Can she actually sue us for leaving a cold water cup on her
table??
