What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I had a handyman hook up a new dishwasher. He hooked it up wrong, and caused a lot of water damage in my floor and ceiling below. I had to pay a plumber $185, and I have to get a contractor to replace the sheerock and fix the floor, replace tiles, etc. My home insurance should pick up the tab for the repair. The handyman doesn't have a business, all I have is his phone# and endorced check. Can I take him to small claims court to get at least the money I am paying the plumber? I also had to take time off of work to wait for the contractor, and will have to take more time off. What are my rights, and what should I sue for? Thanks....
