Half of home collapsed after garage addition was added, insurance or builder? - builders warranty insurance

My neighbor had a garage added in addition to his house, adjacent to a corner of "L" in the house. From the garage was in the "L" is used, screws and bolts were added to a large group of existing house, the plates in this "Part L". Well, that was beside the house and assisted by two full stories. The garage has more to offer has already been built with the support angle. Investigate Well, that was my neighbor sits in his home yesterday and after hearing crackling noises, you guessed it, the wall collapsed angle from the ceiling of the garage, and about 1 / 4 of their house was bad.

The builder said he was not responsible because it 2 years ago, it built and the warranty only 1 year. Does this insurance case, or what? If the manufacturer is liable, even if the warranty has expired, or is screwed my neighbor? I suspect that is $ 100K damages.
