THE IMPORTANCE OF SOUND CONSTRUCTION
No matter if you are a homeowner, a small business operator, or an employee at a large corporation, you expect the construction of the buildings you live and work in to be sound. This is not always the case, unfortunately. There are numerous properties out there with defects that cannot be seen by the untrained eye, but which are serious nevertheless. Over time, lawsuits centered on improper building construction have generated a body of law known as construction defect litigation.
COMMON CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS
Common construction defects include:
- Leaky roofs
- Leaky windows
- Roof failure
- Cracking concrete or unleveled concrete
- Cracking walls
- Wall failure
- Plumbing issues
- Electrical issues
When the construction of a building or other construction product is undertaken, there are building codes and plans that the builders must follow, as well as permits they must acquire. Failing to abide by these guidelines can result in substandard buildings: those that fail to meet industry standards. Owners of such an edifice are likely to file a construction accident lawsuit, as well as owners of buildings that last much shorter than was indicated or is reasonable, or that are excessively cracked, leaky or hampered by other problems.
WHAT IF MY BUILDING HAS CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS?
Construction defects can end up costing consumers a lot of money. What's worse is that it's money they should not have to spend. When contacting sellers, developers, or contractors to make the repairs does not work, it may be time to file a construction defect claim against the responsible parties according to your state's laws. California, for example, has extensive protections against construction defects, even allowing plaintiffs to recover the cost of the lawsuit.
DON'T DELAY
All states have statutes of limitation that limit the amount time for a claimant or consumer to assert a legal claim in court. Some of the laws concerning statutes of limitation are complicated and they differ from state to state. If you believe you may have a claim, you should promptly preserve your rights or you may forever forfeit any legal right to bring as legal claim for any alleged construction defect.
