Q: I had paid someone over $35,000 to build the box for my semi truck. He never did, Can I sue him?
It is 1 year past the deadline. It is very rare when he responds and he just keeps saying he will start to work on it soon. When asked for the money back he says he does not have it.
A: You can sue for breach of contract. Given the amount it would be unlimited court. You will want to consider hiring an attorney to do this properly.
A:
Yes, you may be able to sue the person you paid to build the box for your semi truck if they failed to complete the work as agreed upon and did not provide a refund.
Under California law, if you paid someone for services or goods and they did not provide what was promised, you may have legal grounds for a breach of contract claim. This can include situations where the other party failed to meet deadlines, did not provide the agreed-upon services or goods, or otherwise acted in a way that violated the terms of the agreement.
To sue the person who you paid to build the box for your semi truck, you will need to consult with an attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options. Your attorney can help you file a lawsuit, gather evidence to support your claim, and seek damages for the financial harm you suffered as a result of the breach of contract.
It's important to act quickly in situations like this, as there may be time limits for filing a lawsuit. Additionally, if the person you paid is actively avoiding contact or refuses to provide a refund, it may be necessary to take legal action to recover your money.
