Can a subcontractor for termite treatment on a Hollywood Florida home put a lien on the house when the contractor was paid in full but will not pay the subcontractor?
Not likely. There is no privity of contract between the homeowner and the subcontractor. The homeowner had an agreement with the general contractor, and that's the only person they have a duty to pay. The subcontractor can only pursue payment from the general contractor - to put a lien on the home would be to punish an innocent party - the homeowner. This is between the subcontractor and the general contractor, and there's no reason to bring the homeowner into this, since the homeowner doesn't owe the subcontractor anything.

If tree removal services are performed and not paid can the homeowner be sued?
If the homeowner agreed to pay for the services then the contractor can sue in civil court. However, the contractor must show evidence that the services were performed and that the homeowner agreed to pay for the removal. If the contractor prevails, the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be sold or refinanced until the lien is paid. The best method of having the necessary evidence for a lawsuit in hand when the homeowner refuses to pay is to provide a written estimate of the services with one copy to the homeowner and one to stay with the contractor. If the homeowner agrees to the terms of the estimate both parties should sign and date the estimate. The contractor should have the homeowner sign again after the job has been completed. Forms can be purchased at a business supply store or made up on a home computer if necessary. The contractor should take some photos of the tree prior to cutting and then after the job has been completed. Unfortunately, few contractors and homeowners arrange to have the proper documentation prepared and signed prior to the work being performed.
Can you sue a homeowner for damages to you and your hand even if it was your fault?
No, you can't sue your own homeowner's insurance for any medical condition you experience whether it is your fault or not. Homeowner's insurance is not medical insurance for the homeowner. However, if it is someone else's home you may have your emergency medical covered as most homeowner's policies have emergency medical coverage for non-residents. It is also possible to sue the homeowner for damages, i.e. a dog bite.
