How to File an Insurance Claim Against a contractor
When hiring a contractor, it is recommended to get their Construction Contractors Board License number. A legal document should be written between both parties before hand to avoid any disputes later on. However, if you have a problem with your contractor, his construction contractors’ board license number and a written legal contract will help you file an insurance claim against your contractor.
First talk to the contractor in order to resolve the issue amicably, if he does not agree to your demands, file a complaint with the office, and also get the services of an attorney for the filing of the insurance claim.
