Anyone know which CB member was named in the lawsuit(s) for having sold the Genie Towers? Perhaps he'll comment.
Yes, I was named in the lawsuit, the amount I was sued for was $ 125,000,000.00, because of my "proximity" to the case. You see, I had sold a pair of Genie lifts to the lighting company a few years before the fateful event. The second set of Genies which held the upstage truss that also fell were rented from Bash Lighting who was also named in the suit.
The case against myself and Bash were both thrown out but it took over two years and a lot of attorney fees considering the $ 400.00 profit I made on the original sale.
There are acts of God and there are acts of stupidity. Only one should be actionable. Knowing the difference is the hard part.
