I thought all of you might appreciate a consumer's perspective...our legal system STINKS...after winning my judgement, the insurance company verified they would PAY FOR NOTHING...not even the court costs they created. They had not provided a copy of the insurance policy despite requests from the State's Division of Insurance and then refused to pay the fine for not providing the documents requested. Then there's the issue of the General Contractor...yes, you guessed it, he claimed everything was the responsibility of the company (he was the only employee), he dissolved the company and then went out and got another insurance policy as a tile installer...doing general contracting on the side. NO, he never told his new insurance carrier about the claim or the lawsuit. Sad but true...our system does not protect...it encourages this type of action. I wouldn't recommend the courts to anyone. Even my lawyer ended up with nothing in this matter...that's sad!
