I am a volunteer at a Free Store in NYC. We are a mutual aid group consisting of all volunteers. We are not incorporated. In case you don't know, a Free Store is not exactly a store but shelves placed in front of a building where the community can come and leave something or take what they need.
We have a question regarding the liability of the engineer who is designing the shelves for the Free Store - and also the liability of the members of the Free Store. The shelves will have a type of overarching roof, which will be placed high enough out of reach. And, yet, in the event that somehow it is taken down, or structurally weakened later causes harm to someone, as a mutual aid effort– is there a case for liability on our part? Any lawyers out there who can advise? Thank you.

I don't think this is the right forum for getting answers to your question - why don't you try attorneys who offer free legal advice? One I found on the internet is: https://www.justanswer.com/sip/online-law-advice?r=ppc|ga|27|Legal-Law-Search-BMM-Testing-New-Strategy|General-Legal-1|&JPKW=%2Bfree%20%2Blegal%20%2Badvice%20%2Bline&JPDC=S&JPST=&JPAD=626739019355&JPMT=b&JPNW=g&JPAF=txt&JPRC=1&JPCD=&JPOP=&cmpid=8505055328&agid=86138280203&fiid=&tgtid=kwd-318564805094&ntw=g&dvc=c&r=ppc|ga|27|Legal-Law-Search-BMM-Testing-New-Strategy|General-Legal-1|&JPKW=%2Bfree%20%2Blegal%20%2Badvice%20%2Bline&JPDC=S&JPST=&JPAD=626739019355&JPMT=b&JPNW=g&JPAF=txt&JPRC=1&JPCD=&JPOP=&cmpid=8505055328&agid=86138280203&fiid=&tgtid=kwd-318564805094&ntw=g&dvc=c&gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6KunBhDxARIsAKFUGs_CBaeHlt5kf-9K5MPrBcYIPjLCOQuxrqGPSf9NUVn6A7InD44PIOwaAnKkEALw_wcB
