Construction Defect

Construction defect lawsuits require sophisticated expertise. These lawsuits often have multiple plaintiffs and defendants, as well as longer statute of limitations with potential risk exposure from compliance with rules and regulations to issues related to liability for failures and damages.

From residential to large-scale commercial and government projects, every stage of a construction project presents an opportunity for claims such as alleged design and construction defects; bidding and construction phase issues, including delay or extra work; fee disputes; surety/bond issues.
