Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Connecticut

Hello. My name is Max L. Rosenberg and I am an attorney who practices civil litigation in Connecticut and New York. You may have Home Improvement Act (HIA) General Statutes � 20-418, et seq.violation issues. In order to be compliant with HIA, you need to have a written contract and payment terms. You may still be able to recover money for costs and perhaps unjust enrichment but it is an uphill matter. Contractors seeking recovery for unjust enrichment must prove (1) that the defendants were benefited, (2) that the defendants unjustly did not pay the plaintiffs for the benefits, and (3) that the failure of payment was to the [plaintiff's] detriment.�  New Hartford v. Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, 291 Conn. 433, 451-52, 970 A.2d 592 (2009). This cause of action is more applicable if you are performing some form of emergency remediation like mold removal. To give a more even balanced answer, I would need more information. I would be happy to offer further assistance and answers regarding your issues if you would like to contact our firm. 203.870.6700.
