Uninsured Contractor Damages Property, Now What?

[Manco Snead]

Greetings,

OOS of state 1 level duplex on concrete slab. Hired an honest seeming young guy through a reference to do some simple turnover work (couldn't find a pro handyman).  When he moved the washer/dryer into the adjacent unit he didn't tighten the water supply hoses and water (alot of water) leaked onto the kitchen floor for 4 days. Enough water that when you step on the flooring water seeps out. Was planning on replacing the crappy old LVP anyway, but the damage to everything else could be alot. I'm OOS so haven't seen it in person. Could be a professional dry out if directly on slab or worse if has subfloor. Not sure how to handle this. Thoughts?
