I like to think I'm tech savvy, yet always I find a way to get humbled by a tool on the Web I never saw; like the PACER system for Federal Court actions.
Emboldened by my new tool, I then got the thought in my brain that the other courthouses are online too! Duhhh...so when you want to know about a company your thinking of doing business with, these tools will help you separate the wheat from the chaff.
So off i went to the world of online courthouse records. Having spent a little time there, searching some names out and seeing what came up, boy was I surprised! One company I worked for from Lake Forest/Aliso Viejo has a few civil actions against it or did, one very large installer in Orange County has/had a wrongful death action brought against them, and yet another installer/manufacturer company had about 20 actions against it that I found in Orange County and San Diego alone. Construction defect allegations, breach of contract, declaratory relief were the main actions brought up in the suits I saw on line. The Los Angeles website site is having difficulties so I couldn't search that site.
Civil actions, criminal, domestic, all manner of records are available with which to do your research and do back ground checks on potential companies your considering to do your work on waterproofing your deck.
I even found a criminal record on someone in one search...didn't say what it was for though. I think one must go to the courthouse to see the actual records.
Now, one must consider that I don't know, nor did I research, the disposition of any of these cases mentioned. I can only say that one must make decisions based on knowledge available and I would say that if it came to it, I would probably pick the company that had "only" 4 lawsuits recorded against it than one that has 15 or more...but that's just me.
The links below take you to a new tool to getting information on the dirt behind anyone your thinking of dealing with...a good tool to put in your arsenal. Have fun storming the castle!
