I need some professional advice..

[desiplaya4life]

There is a gardener i have hired every month to perform lawn mowing/gardening services at my home. he recently caused damage to my front lawn using improper treatment and now there are approx $2500 worth of damaged caused by him.. he refuse to do anything because his business account only has so much money (less than what the damage he and his serviceman caused) Can i look to into his personal assets for recovery my damages or do i have to limit only to his business account...
?


ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks

You should consult a real lawyer, not people here on ATOT... I would think things like this would depend on local/state laws...

 

[soydios]

It depends on what type of business he incorporated. Talk to a lawyer.

 

[ChaoZ]

If it's a freelance thing, you'll probably need to take him to court.

Thank you

Try to work something out with him if possible, does he need to replant a ton of grass or what?

 

[desiplaya4life]

no its gotten out of hand basically. theres more fued to this but i put it in shortest term possible to make it simple.

Like someone else said, it depends on how (and if) he is incorporated.

If he is an LLC, a corporation or S-corp, then he has no personal liability.

If he is a sole proprietor or a DBA (Doing Business As), then he can be personally liable.

When you pay him, how do you do it? If you pay by check is it to him personally or to his company?

What happen to your lawn?

Have him deported.

Too much "fued?"

Try small-claims court.

 

[KarmaPolice]

depends on how he runs his business.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

He should have insurance to get this fixed. You didn't take the lowest bid, did you?

Lawyer. Now.

Part one, why even discuss anything on forums, please leave and live areal life outside the internet

Part two ... a reasonable response.

Cliffs:
Landscaper burnt lawn by over-fertilizing and also performed some shoddy work.
Want to make him pay for cost to fix yard.
