What is the name of your state? GA
I own a convenience store/gas station which has a deli that serves breakfast and lunch. Last week a customer came to the store and said that he had broken a tooth on a ham biscuit he had purchased from the store. I told the guy that I would be willing to pay for any dental repair bills. He went to the dentist and got an estimate for the repairs and faxed it to me. I called him and said that I would like for him to sign a release waiver prior to my mailing a check to the dentist's office. He said that he did not have a problem signing such a waiver, but he did want the check made out in his name. I would not agree to that, so he suggested putting both his name and the dentist's name on the check.
My question is what should I do? Should I put both names on the check and mail the check to the dentist, or should I only put the dentist's name on the check? I should mention that my employees have told me that this guy has a reputation for filing false claims. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
