Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Home Association

I am a member of the home association, we want to purchase playground equipment from PlayNation for $13,000, they say they cannot warrant equipment if it is sold to home association but if they sell to a board member and that member gives it to association them they will warrant. question: can that board member be held responsible if their are any accidents or claims due to injuries? We do have insurance coverage on the complex which includes playbground. Thank you/

Re: Home Association

If the board member immediately transfers ownership of the equipment to the association, he can't be held liable for any accidents that occur thereafter. Also, the board could pass a resolution indemnifying the board member if he somehow were sued because of an accident. Frankly, the equipment company's policy doesn't make sense.
