The plaintiff hired the defendant to do electrical work on his house after Hurricane Sandy. He claims the defendant’s worker did a terrible job, and now the lights don’t work. He had to pay another electrician, so he’s suing for damages and the cost of having to pay for another electrician to fix it. The defendant claims he gave the plaintiff a price for the job, but then he tried to get additional work for free.

At first I thought the defendant was right, because they are knowledgeable electricians, and should know what they are doing, and homeowners are misinformed . Then it turns out that they installed the main panel/fuse box too low . Who has to eat the costs to do the job again? The defendants blame the main contractor - but they are the ones the bear responsibility for it. To fix it cost a new contractor 4300 - but that was with additional things as well . The judge estimated the cost to move the box again to a new location to be $2000- rough estimate- ie estimate the costs of the additional things to be $2200 . It would be hard to say exactly how much , unless one knows the details of what the materials cost, and the details of what was done. But that was rough Justice .

I completely disagree with the judge only awarding the plaintiff $2,000! 1200 of that was money that he should have never paid then he paid an additional $4,500 to the second company for work that failed inspection on the defendants part, even if she didn't want to award him the full 4500 I would think that bare minimum he would be allowed 32000 for the new work that needed to be done in 1200 to replace what he paid above and beyond the first company.

@user-uy6uc5ey5q 9 ай бұрын

I work in electrical sales and the plaintiff made quite a few major mistakes. Sure the first electrical firm are complete crooks but home owner is his own worst enemy. What he should have done was either have the main contractor directly organise the electrical work and be responsible for the whole issue or if he wanted to control the subbing at the least have the main contractor draw up a detailed list of the exact items, line by line which needed to be done then present this as the basis of the contract. If he wanted any additional work done over above this, get this again agreed to in detail and price set before paying a cent over. Leaving the the very loose wording has let the crooked electrician (who seems to essentially operating independently of the owner of the firm - probably due to not being a fully certified electrical contractor himself) also get away with massively padding the original pricing. It was still recoverable if he got the new electrical firm to detail what hadn't been completed - which they did and then include a detailed list of the new work. Having these very loose, open statements in the contracts mean JM could only guess what was done by either company and she cut the body in half to reach a rough decision. Lifting a house with disconnecting and reconnecting electrical connection then throwing in extra work is big job and you first probably have someone overseeing it who know a bit about contracting/ and or electrical work. Then prob don't award it to the cheapest company who quotes, particularly if they present like the 2 cowboys the defendants very obviously are.
