Common Questions from Vaughan
The contractor I paid in Vaughan operates under a different company name now. Can I still recover?
Frequently yes. We investigate the corporate trail — who contracted, who was paid, where the assets went — and pursue the parties that the evidence actually supports.
Should I sue for exactly what I lost, or is there a strategy to the amount?
The $50,000 small claims limit, prejudgment interest, and recoverable costs all factor into what you claim. We frame the claim to maximize recovery while keeping it inside the fast, cost-effective small claims forum.
