In the complex array of relationships that arise within the context of a large construction project, it is incumbent upon an injured party to determine what recourse is available under their contract (or subcontract as the case may be) and seek redress from a party that may actually be held legally responsible for their injury.
In the recent case of Suntech of Connecticut v. Lawrence Brunoli Inc. 2013 WL 2993211 (June 25, 2013), the Connecticut Appellate Court upheld the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of a defendant-general contractor and its payment bond surety. The court held that under the terms of the applicable subcontract, the general contractor was not responsible for additional costs, expenses, damages and delays claimed by a subcontractor, in the absence of trial evidence that proved a breach of the subcontract or that the subcontractor's claimed damages were caused by the general contractor.
