Legal Question
My in-laws wanted to replace their carport that was very old. They contacted someone that said he would come out to do an estimate on it. My in-laws were in the house as he was outside measuring and such. I guess he brought another guy with him to help and they other guy got on top of the carport and he fell through it. My in-laws were not aware of this until two days later when the original guy contacted them to let them know. He told my mother-in-law that they guy fell and he picked him up and drove him to the hospital.
Now my mother-in-law has received a call from an attorney regarding the man who broke his neck.
My question is in the state of Texas what responsibility do my in-laws play in this? They are very concerned that they are going to be sued and lose everything. Any basic answers you can give us would be very helpful.
