Are you involved in construction litigation?
Construction litigation involves legal disputes between private parties that arise out of building projects. Disputes might arise out of contractual disagreements or claims of injury or wrongful death due to negligence.
If you believe you have a construction litigation case, or you’ve been named as the defendant in one, Williams & Williams can help guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected.
What are some common construction litigation cases?
There are countless disputes that can occur when multiple parties are involved with the construction of a home or commercial building. However, construction litigation cases usually fall into one of these categories:
Contract disputes
Contract disputes encompass most types of contractual violations made by one or more parties involved in a project. These can include:
- Non-payment between two parties
- Improper work conditions that violate a previous agreement
- Failure to meet project deadlines
- Negligent building practices or improper/defective building materials
Some disputes involve just two parties—the contractor and subcontractor, for example—but could be multi-party affairs, with suppliers, lenders, and others involved.
Injury or wrongful death due to negligence
Claims of negligence involving injury or wrongful death typically involve construction workers and arise from accidents, burns, falls, electrocution, or the loss of limbs. However, anyone seriously affected by negligence on a nearby construction site may have a case.
Workers who are injured on the job often receive workers' compensation, but there may also be a civil case to be made if their employer was negligent in maintaining a safe work environment.
Toxic mold and unsafe conditions
An area of growing concern in construction litigation involves the significant costs to remove toxic molds from buildings.
