A: Not sure of your question. But if someone has broken a contract with you, usually a 6 year SOL applies. But did you have a contract with the insurance company or its insured? Hire a competent attorney. Consider filing in General Sessions for speed, but you may have to try it twice.
Mr. James Charles Wright and Tim Akpinar agree with this answer
A: If the insurer had agreed to pay for your work as opposed to the insured then the insurer may be liable. If your contract/ agreement is with the insured- and the insurer is supposed to pay the insured- then your customer may have to pursue the insurer and your remedy may be against your customer- the answer will really depend on your contract and who you contracted with.
