Protect Yourself From Construction Defect Claims

Over the course of a construction project, defects can occur for a number of reasons. You may find yourself confronted with a legal claim holding you accountable for something that went wrong. When this happens, your first step should be to contact a construction lawyer who can defend you from a dangerous legal situation.

As a subcontractor, you are often protected from liability for these issues. Your employer may be responsible or the defects may be attributed to the designer or manufacturer of the materials. Regardless, you'll still need an attorney on your side to fight any legal claims against you.
