did I get screwed over?

I had a bathroom gut and the guy doing it cut the pipes leading to the shower and replaced them with thick hoses attached with a clamp. I was not happy when I saw this and said why would you cut good piping to do this and now I was concerned about leaks. He rolled his eyes at me and said and I quote - these will last forever and there is no risk of leaking. I am of the school of thought if there is water there is always a risk of leaking. I am now also not getting very much hot water and the water pressure has dropped - both previously non issues.

What do you all think? Is this current normal practice - it was copper piping that had no signs of water damage. I am concerned with those clamps popping off and flooding me out. He installed a cabinet blocking access to them so now I am not even sure if I would know if there was a leak until it was too late.

I am a single mom with a child who has a severe disability. Mould places him at risk and I am tight on cash. The whole thing has been a shit show and am thinking I might need to take him to take action to get another plumber in to fix a whole crap-ton of mistakes - namely finishing but have serious worries about structural.

I would be very, very grateful for an advice you may be able to give.

Telescoping arms with a wide reach and a doubled load capacity are key features of Toro’s new Dingo TXL 2000, which is in development. A new compact utility loader in development by Toro was the talk of the American Rental Association show in New Orleans, with passers-by eying the long reach of the vertical telescoping loader arms on the Dingo TXL 2000. The gleaming red prototype represented this model’s debut, and plenty of dealers and contractors got a peek of what’s to come with this machine, which is the first of its kind, according to Toro. “This machine won’t be out until the late part of 2018, and why we’re introducing it here is because it’s our 20-year anniversary of the Dingo product line,” Kevin Conry, senior marketing manager at Toro Siteworks in Bloomington, Minnesota, had explained during the show held February 19-21.
