Re: house contract

Although it is not stated, I am guessing that you are asking for another opinion. You have to balance the expense in attorneys fees against the potential for recovery. You not only have to get a judgment, but you also have to be able to collect it.

You should obtain information on the truck. Perhaps you can get a recovery from the insurer. Also, if you had insurance on the house, you may be able to make a claim for the damages from the truck.
