From someone entering the fun world of construction litigation, I've noticed two things:
1. A lot of developers are complete POS. They purposely don't pay their subcontractors and tradesmen and just expect most to not sue, and the treat the ones that do as a business expense. It's pretty easy as a developer/contractor to have someone removed from a worksite.
2. We need to encourage more tradesmen to do work on their own outside of contractors. They can get paid the full amount, without a middle man taking a major portion.
