Inspect and Protect is now available. It was commissioned by Nick Gromicko to help the InterNACHI family of inspectors avoid litigation. The book includes dozens of articles that were published in various journals that warn inspectors about the threat that litigation poses to their livelihoods. If all litigation was fair and honest there would be no need for concern, but it is not, as this book documents with actual case histories. And, unfortunately, the threat is growing. If you haven’t been sued yet, or received a demand letter from an attorney, you may not realize how real the threat is, but these are the facts. About one third of all inspectors will be sued at some point in their careers, and this statistic does not include lawsuits tried in Small Claims Court and complaints and demand letters that are settled out of court. Include these, and the rate is closer to one-hundred percent, and that is an alarming statistic indeed. For this reason, no sensible inspector can afford to ignore the threat that litigation poses. However, Inspect and Protect is not a depressing account of lawsuits, but a careful explanation of ways in which to avoid them. The good news is that it takes very little effort for inspectors to protect themselves; it is simply a matter of understanding the threat, and then making a few fundamental changes in the way that they inspect and report on properties.
