garage door killed my dog
Our Yorkie was crushed/killed by our
automated garage door. my dog tried
to exit our garage, he was not
detected by the sensor beams that
were mounted too high (7 & 1/2
inches off the floor) & the doors
reversing mechanism was set too
high so the door continued to close
even after it came into contact with
our Yorkie. The garage door crushed
our Yorkie to death! Two years ago
we hired this licensed contractor to
install this new garage door at our
home. The licensed contractor sent
his worker to our home and this
worker didn't install the garage door
correctly. The two sensor beams
should of been installed five inches
from the floor and the reversed
mechanism for the garage door was
set too high so the sensor never
activated into the reverse mode
when it came in contact with my
Yorkie. I contacted this contractor
who came and his worker fixed the
improperly installed garage door but
denied any responsibility for our
Yorkie�s death.
Is the contractor liable for my
$1000.00 Yorkie?
