It may take years for a home’s structural defects to mainfest themselves. Homeowners may eventually notice cracks in interior walls, exterior stucco, and concrete. Windows and doors fail to properly open and shut. Rainwater finds its way inside the home. A garage fails to drain properly.
A builder who fails to observe industry standards in constructing a home’s structure may be liable for the damage that results – even years after the home was built. Further, subcontractors, including framers, roofers, and concrete pourers, may also be liable.
At The Kristy Law Firm, we are experienced in fighting on behalf of people whose homes have suffered damage as the result of structural defects. Our relationships with expert geotechnical and civil engineers, architects, and contractors help us to successfully litigate structural-defect cases. These cases can be technically complex and often require a substantial investment in the costs of experts. When we take a structural-defect case, we advance all of the costs of litigation. Our clients repay these costs only at the resolution of the lawsuit, and only if we recover money for them.
