Florida Can I sue a business even though I signed an invoice saying that the work was okay? I was told I was signing that the work was done.

Sure anybody can sue for anything. If you have even a chance at winning depends on all of the facts including the actual verbiage of what you signed.

You didn't read what you were signing before you signed it?

How about a yes, a no and a maybe?

Or would you care to explain what work was contracted to be furnished with respect to what; what did you expressly acknowledge concerning the quality and adequacy of the work supposedly performed; and what is your beef?

Generally speaking the act of signing an invoice or any other such document at the conclusion of the work would not, per se (in and of itself) constitute a waiver or release of your legal remedies should it be determined that the work furnished was not as contracted.

The OP states that he signed an acknowledgment that the work was completed satisfactorily.

The OP states that he signed an acknowledgment that the work was completed satisfactorily.

If that is meant to be dismissive, wiser minds might choose to wait until better informed. Example: The discovery of latent and material imperfections in the work.

Not meant to be dismissive, and I agree that claims for latent problems wouldn't (necessarily) be waived. In this case, however, we both have to reach conclusions without any evidence based upon the (lack of) detail in the original post. We don't have any evidence that any of the concerns the OP may have are related to latent problems with the work.

Perhaps Vicki will return to tell us exactly what was said in the document she signed.

That two-cents worth is a constricted viewpoint as the issues may not be restricted to what was signed following the performance of the work.

So she shouldn't come back with more information?

Knowing exactly what was signed certainly would be more than what we have now.

(now I have added an additional 2 cents worth)
