What is recourse for homeowner whose insurance company paid contractor in full and contractor refuses to complete the job as agreed to with the insurance company?

Your contract with the tradesman is between "You and the Contractor", He did not contract with your insurance company. All the insurance company did is agree to pay the bill for you. So you would need to bring your own civil or criminal action against your contractor depending on the circumstances.

Your brother's company failed to have him sign the life insurance beneficiary form therefore the life insurance money went to your parents is there recourse against the negligence of the company?

No, The insurer provides a means by which we can assign beneficiaries, If those beneficiaries turned out to be your parents then so be it. Without evidence to the contrary, Namely an assignment of proceeds AKA naming you as a beneficiary, the law has no option but to presume that was the intent of the insured. Their is no negligence here on the part of the Company and therefore no liability. The insurance company is only following the law as well as the documented intent of the insured.If you think there was an oversight on the part of your sibling in the assignment of beneficiaries, then you would need to bring your action against the beneficiary and/or the estate of the deceased. Basically you'd have to sue your parents and your brothers estate. The Insurance company would not be a party to your recourse action.

What recourse does a General Contractor have if an insurance company refuses to pat overhead and profit?

ALL businesses/contractors deserve O&P. The insurances charge it in their policies to their insureds and therefore legally are not allowed to keep it; in addition to wanting your contractor to reinvest in themselves to be around to honor your warranty... it is always justified and required. The best recourse is to hire a knowledgeable contractor/business to handle your insurance claim on a contingency basis. Not all contractor's are educated enough to know what the laws are and what they deserve to keep them in business. One is to file a complaint with the insurance department and see how that goes. Unfortunately, this can potentially take some time, sometimes to run through the system and garner results. Regardless of a quick result or slow result, it is a necessary step to keep the insurances from keeping what is not theirs. Another is to invoke the Appraisal provision of the policy (Results vary).

If a contractor does a poor job and has been paid does the owner have any recourse?

Unfortunately, money that has been paid for poor workmanship is probably gone forever. However, if a roof leaks, or the dishwasher doesn't work, or the installed product does not perform as it should, I would definitely seek recourse. But unless the contractor has a sterling reputation that they want to maintain, and some assets, I wouldn't hold out too much hope.


If a contractor does not finish a job what do you do?

The laws vary from state to state, but in most places require a contractor to be licensed. This means you may have some legal recourse other then taking him to court (which could take years) Contact the local bureau of licenses and ask them how to file a complaint.


Can new Homeowner file a claim against General Contractor Liability Insurance for work done for previous home ownwer that caused property damaged recently discovered by new owner of the house?

No. You, (The new owner) was not a party to the contract between the previous homeowner and the trade contractor. The contractor has no obligation to a subsequent owner with whom he did not contract or make warranty. It's no different than when you buy a used car. You would have no recourse for work you might consider substandard against a mechanic that did repairs for the previous owner because you did not own the property at that time and were not a party to the repair agreement. Hopefully you purchased a home warranty through your realtor when you purchased the home they are very inexpensive. Your recourse would be to file a claim on the home warranty offered to you when you made your home purchase.


Why must a contractor need to be bonded and insured for you to hire them?

Hiring a bonded and insured contractor protects you from potential financial loss due to accidents, damages, or incomplete work. Bonding ensures that the contractor has the financial backing to fulfill their obligations, providing recourse if they fail to complete a project or meet quality standards. Insurance safeguards against liability for injuries or property damage that may occur during the project, ultimately offering peace of mind and legal protection for both parties. Without these protections, you may be vulnerable to significant risks and costs.
