What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
As a result of a hurricane our house was torn down and rebuilt. In less than a year my house flooded twice due to improper installation of the faucets. I am considering suing the plumber for damages and what he has put our family through. This includes hiring unlicensed contractors, building code violations. We have had to move all of our personal items out of the house and back in for repairs to be made at our own expense.
When the work was done on our home he was a sole proprietor. He has since incorporated. My question is... can I sue him as an individual since everything started when he was not incorporated. Or, do I have to figure out which event fell under each type of business type? Does he get to enjoy his corporate shield?
Thank you for your input.
