Re: Suing general contractor
There are certain instances in which a general contractor can be sued under a "statutory employer" theory. Whether you can do that depends on the facts of the case and is impossible to determine without a detailed and through consultation with an qualified attorney.
You should seek the advice of an attorney to determine your rights and rememdies as soon as possible.
