Hey, my father is being sued.
He worked as a sort of independent contractor for a company (we'll call this A), and one of his friends started a house painting business. So when he found people that weren't interested in company A, he helped refer them to the house painting business, for a small commission.
Anyways, fast forward to the recession: He no longer works for "A", and now works for a retail store. The paint company that his friend started has tanked. To his surprise, he recently got a legal notice that one of the paint company's clients he referred was suing him. The notice stated that his paint job on the house was falling apart, and that he wanted a refund.
So naturally, my dad believed that this was his friend who started the company's fault. But he just lost the case.
What does he do now?
