Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota
slip shoddy job
In October of 2004, a well company replaced 2 holding tanks for a shared well system. In the first part of May we had a wet weather week and the tanks popped out of the ground. The well company then reburied them but this time chained them down in the ground to avoid this issue from happening again. The well is shared by 3 households and cost each household $985.68 each the first time. Now, when they bubbled up they want to charge us each an additional $454.42 to replace what they messed up in the first place. Can they legally charge us for this and do we have to pay for their slip shoddy work. Please advise!

Re: slip shoddy job
Depends on their contract. I assume there was a written contract. If not, state law kicks in, along with any local ordinance. Was there any permits pulled for the job?
Any inspection by city or county officials?
