I didnt read the rest of the comments , so the legal responsibility goes something like this. General contractor, sub contractor , supplier. Generalcontractor is responsible for all those under his contract. If you hired a GC without getting a certificate of insurance, You now are part of the problem. Hire a GOOD lawyer.
^This. I had a similar situation where the contractor overexcavated our foundation, cracked it, caused water damage, restucco'd the house without waterproofing reulsting in more water damage, mold etc. fraudulent billing etc caused $$$$$$$ total damage. It took about $250K in legal fees and 3 years to revover about $$$$$ and the contractor continued working, never got his [bleep] bond of $10K. As Diggerman said, "Hire a GOOD lawyer.". We went through two law firms before we found a lawyer who was a real expert.
