Re: Law suite

Whether you have a viable claim against Terminix depends upon your contract and the particular facts. Did they provide a disclaimer? A warranty? Whether you have a contract claim would depend upon the terms of the contract. To succeed on a negligence claim you would need to establish that they had a duty, that they breached it, and that the breach was what caused the problem (damage). In other words you would have to prove that they did not perform the service reasonably and that this was the cause of the harm you suffered.
