Construction

Construction litigation often involves the allegation of a construction defect, which may be a patent defect or a latent defect, appearing years after the construction project has been completed. Construction defects can arise due to poor workmanship, substandard materials, soil or slope instability, or a number of other reasons. Determining the existence of a defect, understanding its cause, and identifying the responsible party can be a complex endeavor. Experience in construction litigation cases can be as important as general trial skills in successfully prosecuting or defending a construction defect case.
