The Three Risks of the 'Gig Economy'

⚖️

Supplier Debt Lawsuits

Cheap contractors often rob Peter to pay Paul. When they default on lumber bills for your project, Bel-Ridge law allows suppliers to sue you directly for the balance.

🛑

Stop Work Orders

City inspectors patrol Bel-Ridge daily. Unpermitted work gets red-tagged immediately. You will pay **double permit fees** plus administrative fines to resolve it.

🏥

Bankruptcy Risk

A single injury on your property can exceed your homeowner's liability cap. Uninsured 'handymen' expose your personal savings to massive medical claims.
