Small claim and Defendant suing back:
Dear Sirs,
Two month ago I was contacted by the company that wanted me to translate the documents from Russian into English (I am certified translator/interpreter). I did translation for them. They wrome me email statement that they would pay. But, they never did. I started call them every day and they told me that translation was not satisfied, because their client did not like it (I never contacted their client and it was not even mentioned that I am translating for somebody else). After many lies that they sent me checks, whic I have never gotten, I filed small claim in court. My question, could the company sue me back? Could the company sue me for the fact that their client did not like the translation, and, as result they lost that client? Could they sue me for some sort of loss of clientele becasue of me? Sincerely, Andrey Answers (1)

http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/98101-wa-avvo-moderator-1769851/aboutme.html While they could sue you back, it is very difficult to establish such a case if you had no knowledge of their reliance on your translation to keep their client. Plus, they'd have to prove that they lost the client because of the translation and not some other reason. Good luck with the small claims case. |
