Developer sues lady after they accidentally built on her lot, someone pooped on floor

I wonder where the contractor’s insurance company is in all this.  Isn’t this the kind of thing insurance is for?  Isn’t this why contractors are required to have insurance, and developers are required to use licensed contractors?

The only type of insurance that COULD possibly cover this type of screw up would be called "Errors and Omissions" Insurance.

However, I highly doubt the contractor(s) would have this coverage, typically only professional service businesses - such as Architects, Surveying and Engineering Firms, etc. carry this type of insurance. Since no surveys were done, I really don't see ANY insurance claim against any of the parties.

Interestingly enough, I tried a hundred ways to Sunday to verify "PJ Construction" as a licensed Hawaii business AND licensed contractor, to no avail, other than one individual tied to a company known as "PJ Construction Co" that was suspended years ago. It could be that the company name was quoted wrong in the news article, or it's under a D/B/A name, but nothing comes up as "PJ Construction!"
