For people having a problem with a home improvement contractor, you may be able to collect money from the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund.

There are several requirement in order to collect.

1. The contractor must have been registered with the Department of Consumer Protection
2. You must obtain a judgment against the contractor. (an exception applies if the contractor files for bankruptcy).
3. The work must have been done on a residential property – single family, multi-family not more than 6 units, condo, or coop.
4. You must apply to the fund within 2 years of obtaining a court judgment
5. You must attempt to collect the judgment – an exception applies for small claims.
6. The claim must be for work performed, not just materials.

Unfortunately, too many contractors do poor work, and refuse to repair the work after receiving the contractual money.

If you had unsatisfactory work done by a home improvement contractor, please feel free to contact:

It is not only the weight of a train, it is also a train’s speed, which can result in a tragedy.     Train accidents can cause massive amounts of damage to people and property

A train accident can result from both mechanical failure and human error.  The accident can result in serious injury or death to a train passenger, or someone in the way of a moving train.  

For example, a train conductor may be going too fast to negotiate a turn on the track.   As a result of the excessive speed, the train can derail, resulting to death to many passengers. 

Also, a train Grade Crossing Signal may fail.    In these situations, a driver of a motor vehicle may cross a railroad track at the same time that a train is passing, resulting in a horrible collision.  

Another example is a bus ignoring a stop sign at a train crossing resulting in collision.  

Sadly, there are too many examples of train accidents, which cause unnecessary death and destruction.   Wikipedia has a list of these accidents under “List_of_rail_accidents”     

If you or someone who know has been involved in a train accident, please feel free to contact
