  Road and driveway maintenance

Carl,

This is not a thought you asked for and one I hate to mention but, you should find out what liability you are taking on doing work on the road. Sadly, you may find the risk is so great you can not afford to help your neighbor.

Let someone have a wreck on the road and get hurt and you may find a court holds you responsible. Even if you are cleared the cost can wipe out many people.

If you have a farm or business liability type policy you may find it will help protect you. I can tell you to BE SURE YOU ARE SAFE.

Now why is it important for clear thinking level headed people to serve on juries?

Again, it saddens me that such should be a concern but here is would be a major one.

Carl,

It is not when you are working where I think you run a liabilty risk. If some wreck, regardless of reason, they will look for all pocket books. If you grade the road or work on the road, do not be surprised if you are sued. The grade was not correct, the ditch too deep, the ditch not deep enough to handle the water, the road too narrow, the wash out was your fault.

I don't know nor am predicting it will ever happen. But I can tell you it does. I hope it never does. But that is much of what courts have become.

Carl,

The liability issue should not be a killer (no pun) but the subdivision should be willing to pay those cost if you are willing to do the work you are. It may cost very little to protect up front compared to the cost if somethign does happen.

As to someone elses comment on dentist...come now..are not dentist like any other professional? Some are very good and some are well...only after the money regardless of the damage they cause to the other person?

Over the years one of my office's neighbors have been two dentist. One very reasonable in cost and treatment. The other totally opposite.
