Construction liability

[pattyj2006]

What is the name of your state? Virginia

Last year (approx this time - Nov) working on a project through head construction company - I was paid as a sub through my corporation. My liability lapsed during this project. On this particular weekend on this project I specifically asked the project manager if he wanted me to cover the roof project we were working on - he said NO, so I did not - Sunday morning earily it rained - property damage to inside of house/furniture. Their insurance company paid the homeowner damages. Now the insurance company wants me to pay them back the damages? My corporation has since been disolved, they fired me after I finished the project. I did not have liability at the time of the damage - what is the law or what statutes can I read? Thanks.

Tell them to bite big rocks.

You are not liable, you tell them, so leave me alone.

If this is big bucks, then get a lawyer.

what is the law or what statutes can I read?

There are tons of law libraries in your state; go visit a few.
