Recovery Strategies

Multiple paths to recover your losses from a roofing contractor dispute

🎯 Multi-Pronged Recovery Approach

  • Contractor's License Bond ($25,000): Every licensed contractor must maintain this bond. File a claim directly with the bonding company.
  • CSLB Complaint: Can result in license suspension, restitution orders, and increases settlement leverage.
  • Small Claims Court: For claims up to $12,500, fast and no attorney required.
  • Civil Litigation: For larger claims, with potential attorney fee recovery under Civil Code § 1029.
  • Successor Liability: If contractor formed a new LLC, the new entity may be liable under alter ego or continuation doctrine.
  • Homeowner's Insurance: May cover some water damage; insurer can subrogate against contractor.
