Andy Dick: Construction Co. Gave Me the Shaft

Posted Oct 7th 2008 6:29PM by TMZ Staff

For once, it seems, Andy Dick will appear in front of a judge and not be called "the Defendant."

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. Superior Court, Dick is suing Sipan Design & Development for allegedly bailing on a major renovation project to his L.A. County home. Dick claims to have paid nearly $121,770 for electrical, plumbing and carpentry work (among other things) that was to be completed by June 1.

According to the lawsuit, Dick raised hell when the project was never completed, and couldn't even get copies of documents from Sipan listing their permits, receipts for work completed or a list of the jobs they had yet to begin. The papers say Sipan "took Mr. Dick's money and ran."

Dick is suing for compensatory and punitive damages, plus attorneys' fees and any other cash the court will throw his way.

5. Hey Andy,

Give 'em hell! You're a comedic genious, and your fans look forward to what you're cooking up next. Keep it real, bro. You're lookn' good. Stay healthy and piss everyone off with your greatness.

7. Contractors are crooks, only lawyers and (some) doctors are worse.

The reason these people are crooks is the same reason our economy is in the toilet. NO REGULATION. There's only the appearance of a regulatory agency, but in truth these regulatory agencies do nothing. Contractors, lawyers, investment bankers all know they can get away with their thievery because there is NO REGULATION.

Hope he wins.

8. He paid $122,000? How does he even earn a living?

9. Andy, this is what happens when you try to urinate on construction crews.

Really, does this guy want to file a lawsuit? Who knows what he did to prompt the crew to quit.

He is the ultimate trainwreck.

10. I thought Andy liked it when given the shaft. He's paying too much for it, though, that's true.
