For example, a designer was told that because of his or hers blueprints, the buidlings have some problems or even cause some damages or accidents, deaths, injury, should this person be responsible for the bad outcome?
Depends on the damage incurred I guess? If it's structural I fail to see why the designer should take the responsibility. Or it could be the workmanship by the builders?
the buildings dont have problems because of the blueprints, the problem is the lines in the blueprints and whoever decided to put the lines in the blueprints is responsible, the bad outcome is something we will have to live with for the next 4 years, don't mix shit here.
It doesn't matter! All they have to do is name you in the lawsuit, regardless how many notes you have to cover your ass, contracts etc. and you will be liable in some way or another. I just went through litigation for a cracked slab in a million square foot warehouse, had nothing to do with the design, but I was named in the lawsuit including even the concrete company that was pouring the slab. Engineer was the one that was supposed to be liable for all of that, but no we were all named in it.
Bottom line is, in most cases, insurance company will step in and the case will be settled.
Easy theta, you shouldn't use one according to our soon to be farther right government. We're supposed to be fruitful and multiply to make America great again!
One simple qustion: Should the designer be responsible for their blueprints?

Need some context here.

way too many unknowns and external factors to answer - but you will get many amateur attorneys in this forum that will still attempt to do so. Cue EI.

don't hire a designer.
OP: "a designer was TOLD that because of his or hers blueprints, the buidlings have some problems"
No - it doesn't matter what the designer is TOLD (by who?) -- it only matters what the whole body of facts related to the situation reveal.
Simply asserting that the designer is liable for "some problems" doesn't actually mean those problems are the responsibility of the designer.
I love how quickly, devoid of any detail from OP, this thread descends into multiple semantic clarifications.
lol, +1 to chigurh's post
