"...more facts, supervision belonged to her, It is all in the written
contract, the time to get the lawyer is when the contract is being written,
Is there such a thing as project Insurance..."
I am speaking from personal experience and I am sure there are others here
that might be part of or a contractor still...
Anyway, in this state: One of the things people are always advised of is
find a contractor with insurance on all people working for them on site.
This would include carrying a bond that if there is a issue that all one
does is go through the process.
My son's business, Stone Hill company that did lawn and gardening and small
home remodeling. I managed it and made sure He had it to go on site to show
his insurance and a certain level of a bond.
If these things are not there it falls back onto the home owner for the
damages to the working person or person's or the home.
I have learned from experience in my home and all the remodeling through
contractors, red and reread the contract to cover all that you want done and
handled.
There was one time only and that was in installing a deck and sun-room. When
digging for the cement pods and sunk down below the frost level. It was in
the contract, my request, remove the said gravel/dirt off site. This was not
done and stopped them from continuing to build the deck over top of the
black-top and the gravel and dirt. The manager or boss man came by and I
showed him the contract. Needless to say, though unhappy, they had and did
remove all said gravel and dirt to what the surface was.
There is another issue and that is if it was a fly by the night contractor
or some call Gypsies contractors. Fancy looking contract with no meat and
potatoes.
Good luck with the fight
