The HVAC tech fell through the ceiling

For the first two years I have lived in this house, it has been easy-going.

I have experienced no major issues, besides the old cracked septic tank but I knew about that when I moved in.

Otherwise there have been no major issues with the home. Until last month, when everything seemed to hit the fan all at once. I noticed several small cracks in the ceiling, and wasn’t sure what caused them. The appliances in the kitchen started performing poorly, and they needed to be replaced. After that it was the central HVAC system that went on the fritz. I needed to call a local heating and cooling contractor to inspect my system and give me a price estimate, and that’s when things got much worse.First the technician examined my outdoor HVAC equipment, like the air handler. He checked the thermostat, and looked at all of the air vents as well. Then he needed to look at the indoor air handler, which required him to bring in a ladder and climb up into the attic. Several seconds later there was a loud crash, and that poor HVAC tech came through the broken ceiling and landed flat on his back. I had to call an ambulance, and the HVAC tech was taken away on a gurney to the ER. I really don’t know what to expect, because there is a chance the HVAC tech is going to sue me for his medical costs. Hopefully the contractor will handle everything, but for the time being I have more to worry about than just my air conditioner.
