Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Small Claims Court

We loss on a case at Small Claim Court and we are the Plaintiff. We had a Protem Judge and he ruled against us. I know that we can't fight the decision; however the only things is that we believe the defendant was paid by the insurance company for our portion of the job. Can after the case has been settled can we supiona the insurance company and see if the defendant was paid by the insurance company for our job. This is profiting from an insurance loss and is against the law. A brief decription of the job our company started doing is for contents(Personal property, furniture) at a home after a fire. The defendant found boxes on her tables and she was very upset. She claimed that we did a messy job, but this is the one only job that we did not make the homeowners happy. We ended up giving her a credit for the refinishing of the tables; however the judge told the defendant that she did not have to pay us. We do not know if the defendant was ever paid for our portion of the job, because the insurance company would not tell us that. If we can prove that the defendant was paid could that change the outcome of the Small Claim Court Case. Thank You Paula
