Can one be sued for actions they make on the behalf of the company they work for?
Can I myself be sued by an unhappy customer, seperate from my company even though I followed all company procedures.

It depends.

If you work for a corporation, and you have no vested interest in the company, you are shielded from personal lawsuits stemming from your actions on behalf of the company (when you are conducting your job and/or the regular operations of the business).

If you work for a partnership where you have put up personal property as part of the business' assets, then you do have some personal liability.

If the lawsuit is against actions by you that were not in good faith of the business, such as if you kill someone through your own negligence, you can be held personally liable.

You might check your state's laws/statutes regarding personal liability within the corporate structure.

No, first the company's insurance lawyers will make sure it never happens. I know sometimes thinking you might be sued can be unnerving. But it's doubtful they could sue you personally and the reality is if someone sues and loses they have to pay your lawyers' fees. Sounds like a disgruntled customer or individual. If they were foolish enough to sue the company would keep the trial going for so long they would bankrupt the individual and the day the individual can't show up in court the court gives a summary judgement to the defendant. Since you are an agent of the company they can't sue you personally.

Only if you did something like pour coffee on his computer or something else, non relevant to the work task.
Note: advise your boss stat of the dissatisfied customer and ask how things went south when you followed procedure.

You can be sued for ANYTHING these days. But, someone just being an "unhappy customer" is going to lose that case hard.

It wouldn't make sense, Stephen. Any attorney worth his salt is going to know that you go after the pocketbook. Suing is not an emotional thing for an attorney- maybe for his client- but the attorney is only thinking of the money- and your company has more than you.

Also- you're not getting sued. People threaten that all the time, because they see it on TV.

on what grounds of the complainant will he/she complain about. I think your company do not give you orders to disrespect any costumer? I think that customer or the complainant is just a dick head.
