Our home has been damaged by a foundation contractor working on a neighboring property. The damages are greater than $20,000 so says an engineer, and repairs will be very disruptive. Our insurance company says our home owner’spolicy does not cover ‘contractor negligence’. The general contractor refuses to give us any information about his insurance company, but has offered to fix everything when he’s done. I don’t ever want to talk to him again let alone allow him to step foot in my house. Anyone out there successfully sue a contractor that was not working on your house? Interested in any information. Does one sue the owner of the property or the subcontractor who caused the damage? Are we able to recoup legal fees? What about the pain in my ass?
