Sprinkler contractors perform work daily without thinking about what would happen if something went wrong. Water, fire, personal injury, and loss of revenue are just some of the damages contractors have to defend themselves from when something goes wrong. In approximately 65% of cases investigated, the sprinkler company did nothing to warrant the accusations in the lawsuit. This presentation will include four actual lawsuits and explain what the contractor did right, did wrong, and what they could have done better to avoid the lawsuit altogether. The dollar value of the lawsuits and the final outcome will be provided.

Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to:

• Explain the risks every contractor takes when performing their work.
• Identify ways to reduce risks.
• Describe examples provided of actual lawsuits against fire protection companies.
