We Pursue Claims Against Negligent Builders and Contractors
In many cases, construction defects are apparent right away. These are known as patent defects, and are typically surface-level issues that are discovered during normal inspections. Latent defects, however, are generally not readily observable and often don’t become apparent until months, or even years have passed.
Our attorneys handle a variety of cases involving design, material, and workmanship defects that impact the stability, functionality, and safety of your property. Whether your construction defect was discovered prior to the project’s completion, when ownership was transferred, or years down the road, we can help.
A deficiency in the design, workmanship, or materials that leads to structure failure and/or causes damage to the building or property or injuries to a person is commonly referred to as a construction defect.
- Cracked slabs or foundations
- Defective stucco
- Water intrusion
- Defective soil conditions
- Electrical and plumbing problems
- The existence of mold
Depending on the legal theories pursued, plaintiffs may be entitled to:
- Actual and compensatory damages. These may include the cost of repairing the building itself as well as the cost to repair or replace the building’s contents that were damaged by the defect.
- Expert fees, appraisal fees, storage costs, and cleaning/restoration costs can generally be recovered.
- Compensation for the reasonable cost of similar housing if the building was uninhabitable.
If serious construction defects exist that the builder can’t, or won’t repair, Maddox, Segerblom & Canepa can help you recover your losses by filing a claim or taking legal action.
