Re: home accident

This is a very serious accident and there could be serious liability on the part of the person who did the actual cutting off of the thumb. I don't think that you would have a lawsuit against the homeowner, but only against the individual who misused the saw. Does that person have homeowner's insurance?

If so, he may have general coverage under his policy.

Give me a call and maybe we can do something about it.
