I'm a homeowner. I live in Las Vegas, NV. I had a HVAC come to my house for repairs and they originally quoted $* to replace the motor in my furnace. After arriving to do the work, they damaged the unit so much that they now want to charge me $* to replace the unit. They also damaged my wood floors and ceiling. Can I sue them?
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Here are your options:
- You can sue for damages due to negligence.
- Nevada law allows you to cancel a contract within three business days.
- You can also file a complaint with Nevada State Contractors Board.
Please consult with a local attorney for detailed advice.
They also took the part they broke so if I wanted to hire someone else to replace the unit, I'd have to go through them. Is that legal?
The situation you're describing may fall under "conversion", which is unauthorized possession of personal property.
- Under Nevada law (NRS *.*), conversion is illegal.
- You could potentially sue them for this.
