What can I do if my client refuses to pay me
If your client refuses to pay you, of course, you always have the option of suing that client. But that’s not always the best answer. Sometimes What’s better is to reach out to the client yourself. Ask what’s going on, try to salvage the relationship. And if that doesn’t get you anywhere, contact an attorney like myself, who can send letters and try to get you paid without having to file a lawsuit, which is really your last resort. And at the end of the day, if it makes financial sense to invest money into a lawsuit, it’s got to be worth enough and we can explore that option at that time as well.
Am I liable for mistakes made by my subcontractors
liability for subcontractors is a very difficult area of why and it’s not an easy answer. It depends who you are if you’re the owner of the premises, generally No, as long as you follow a certain OSHA guidelines and you have relinquished control of the premises, if you’re a general contractor, it depends on your relationship with the subcontractor. So this one is really case specific and it depends on a lot of different factors.
Can I be sued for providing bad or incorrect advice
Hopefully it’s not legal advice because you should not be giving out legal advice unless you’re an attorney licensed in the state of Florida or whatever state you’re in. But generally it depends upon the relationship and if the person to whom you gave the advice, detrimentally relied upon that advice and justifiably relied upon that advice, so it really depends on what kind of advice we’re talking about. But if you’re ever concerned, you should give a disclaimer or don’t give people advice.
