Re: [CAUT] Econ. Affairs ArticleFred,

Here's a question: I was asked by a college to supervise a move, on a =
per-hour basis (no contract).  They provided the truck and the personnel =
(including the driver).  I just disassembled and reassembled the piano, =
and gave instruction on how to move it (OK, and did some shoving, too).

What is my liability if the piano falls off the ramp while I'm pushing =
on it (with others)?  What if the truck is in an accident while I'm =
riding in it (but not driving)?  What if I'm following the truck in my =
own car and there's a problem?  I thought long and hard about many such =
possible scenarios.  They got into a bind just before a big concert, and =
couldn't find a mover.  The local piano store didn't want to do it, but =
lent the skid, dolly, and ramp.

I guess we're into what a jury might consider that a "reasonable and =
prudent" person would do...
