In Washington, we are required to file our lien within 90 days after our last day on the job. Typically, invoices are partially paid within 30 days by the insurance company (undisputed amount) and the remaining discrepancy will be the basis for our Notice of Intent to Lien.
My question is, at what point during the 90 days should we be sending a notice of intent to lien to try and spur payment by either the insured or the insurance company? Preferably we would like to be paid by the insurance company to avoid negative reviews from the customer.
Thanks

WashingtonHi, so i was hired to start working construction threw a friend of a friend. I was hired as a subcontractor for All-State solutions llc. They hired a manager who pays us and over sees us, saying all pay questions needs to be directed to him. On my second day the owner, Manger and General contractor came to us at a a meeting saying that we were 1099 employees of allstate who need to file taxes every 3 months and we will be receiving statements every 3 months also... but continued to pay us cash each Friday with no documentation stating what we were paid or hours. We would keep track of our own hours and text the crew lead each week.... Starting the second week, the manager over seeing all the crews started to become short saying he would pay us all next Friday. When that day came he would have partial. Next saying he would pay is in full when the job is ended but he ended up paying partial payment instead of full. On the last day of the job he paid partial once again. Now I can not get ahold of the manager. Other guys from the crew have gone back to work but have not received pay. I have not received pay nor gone back to work. Any suggestions or ideas on what I can do to recover my pay?
ArizonaI went to work for this guy and his company. I could see an opportunity straight away. I offered him a 50/50 deal. we shook hands and continued on. After 9 months I told him no more.
#1 he would not sign papers OA or any other partnership papers while I slaved away!over 50+ hours a week plus investing my own money!!I totaled the family truck because he did not provide the vehicle. I was supposed to be paid 35% of the income generated by the environmental side of the business. I was shorted on that and never paid overtime. He ran a payroll like I was an employee of his other company. H did take taxes out for a while...But then started paying me through Venmo. I still have not received any tax info for my personal filing 2019... He also refuses to take my name off of the LLC that shows me as a managing member! I have a list of calculations for the amounts I feel I am owed. The 35% is based on average prices for services rendered. The total is over 10,000$ Although I feel righteous I do not want the hassles of a long court drama. Therefore I would be willing to settle out of court or in small claims for 10,000$

ConnecticutWe have not gotten paid on this job, which was completed in May 2019. It was being handled by our attorney who filed against the insurance company. There ended up being no coverage for this claim. We still have an outstanding invoice and the homeowner is not responding. The lien deadline passed. What can we do?
FloridaI am a building consultant and I have for the past couple months been doing work for a member of a public adjusting firm that is neglecting to pay me for my work. I have done inspections of the property and created a damage estimate for repairs on multiple residences.

OhioMy company is working on a historic loft in Montgomery Alabama. We had to order specialized material because the building is historic. We have not shipped this material due to non payment. We can not return the material because it is specialized. Can we add this to our lien?
AlabamaI was working for someone who had a job on a house that was partly burnt down to do the demolition and the job is 70% done and they don't want to pay what should I do
UtahI am a contractor. I took over an addition project from another contractor who had done a poor job with some of the framing and was fired. I did not have lien rights verbiage in the contract, nor did I supply it within the proper time frame from starting the work. My contract clearly states what work was included and clearly states the rate at which additional work will be billed. Of course there were changes and additions. For 90% of the project, I felt like I had an excellent working relationship with the owner and therefore failed to produce change orders when things came up, thinking they understood that they were asking for work beyond the contract and would be billed for it. Upon completion of the project, I produced a bill with the contract balance and additional charges. I provided a conditional lien waiver for the amount of the bill. The owner has refused to pay any of the bill unless I provide a lien waiver for the amount they want to pay which is about 30% ($4000) less than the bill. Did I lose my lien rights by failing to provide lien information at the beginning? If I provide the waiver they are asking for, can I file a lien for the rest of the bill? Does providing the lien waiver affect my rights or my chances of success in small claims court? The amount in question is about $4000, but there were a number of services I never charged for but would like to pursue if it's going to be a battle. Can I legitimately bill now for those services? It has been about 30 days from completion of all work and about 25 days from the final bill date.
