It's not clear from your question exactly what you mean by "work not completed." That said, as a general matter, if someone did not do all the work they contracted to do, you could sue them under the terms of the contract or agreement. Or if someone caused damage to, for example, your car by not properly completing work, you could again sue them for the damage they did. So, yes, as a general matter, if someone owes you money or damaged your property or did not fulfill contractual oblitgations, you could sue them.
