The judge read the jury's verdict, a judgment against my client, Super Door Subcontractor, for $150,000. All I could think was if my client had had something in writing approving the doors they installed, none of this would have happened.

Before Susan with Super Door Subcontractor began work on this particular project, the general contractor told them the owner wanted different doors than what was called for in the plans. Susan told the general contractor that the new doors the owner wanted would not work. The doors the owner wanted were designed for interior use and would not work for the exterior of the building where they were to be installed. The general contractor said the owner didn't care, and they wanted these doors.
