Legal Question in Construction Law in Minnesota

You can sue for your out of pocket monetary loss - repairs and substitute housing.

Sorry, I'm a little late on this one; was out of the office. Generally in property damage cases you can't sue for "personal hardship" or "emotional distress" unless there's some accompanying physical effect on you and the conduct is fairly egregious. However, as Mr. Beaulier points out, you can recover all out-of-pocket costs including lodging and perhaps other items as well. It's great that the contractor's insurer is being so cooperative, but before you sign off on any releases, it may be worthwhile to just have an attorney take a quick look at the settlement agreement and review with you they types of damages you have incurred.

That said, good luck to you and let me know if I can be of further assistance.
