LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

(OP)
I thought a few legal references might be useful to some of you out there. Here are somethat I use.

The first link is a fairly comprehensive list that is divided into 2 sections The first section is for useful books or other publications and the second for webites where you can get a great deal of free information.

I've also provided two additional links on topics that have come up lately, the first on the A/E's responsibility as it relates to jobsite safety as a professional and duty as a human being.

The second deals with the leagal risks of email.

RE: LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

Casseopeia,
The link on e-mail is really good.  Every time I've ever been deposed (too often in my old job, never so far in my new company), the lawyer for the other side had a thick file of stupid e-mail chains that I'd participated in.  None were particularly bad in context, but it doesn't take much spin to destroy context.  A deletion policy would have changed the tenor of several bad days (but fortunately not the outcome of the civil actions against us).
