Q: Customer suing company I worked for. I was mailed a subpoena by the company do I need a lawyer?
Customer requested to put vehicle in storage then drove it and crashed it. I took the phone call he says he never told me to do that. I did a statement with the company I worked for, now a year later he's suing. I declined a deposition but now received a subpoena from the companies lawyer not the person suing. Do I need a lawyer.
I took notes on the call the day it occured and there is a call log showing he did call.
A: You got the subpoena because you refused the deposition. They sued the company, not you.You have an obligation to attend and testify. Not clear who drove it & crashed it. I don't see that you need an attorney but you may have other facts.
