Construction Litigation

Construction Litigation Services

Construction projects involve remodeling, renovating, or constructing infrastructure, structures, or buildings. Additionally, construction projects require a significant amount of time, finances, and resources. Even making a family home demands the coordination of skilled workers to create a structure as per the client’s specifications. There are many tasks beyond the construction site that need to be performed to handle any issues that may arise and ensure that structures are well built.  Our Birmingham construction lawyers have more than 40 years of experience in helping developers, engineers, material suppliers, contractors, architects, and subcontractors with various legal issues. The construction industry is complicated due to the financial factors, the number of stakeholders involved in each project, and the number of regulations controlling the industry.

Working with a contractor in Birmingham, Alabama, can be stressful. This is because a contractor can walk away from your project if he or she wishes. A contractor can fail to complete a project, or a contractor can fail to accurately estimate job completion times, causing you to fall behind schedule. 

Our construction attorneys will provide a free consultation that examines the state of your business. Also, they can advise you on measures you can take to make it more efficient, profitable, streamlined, and set it apart from other contractors and subcontractors in  Alabama.

Common Causes of Construction Litigation

While working in the construction field and related practice areas, we’ve discovered that construction litigation is caused by:

1. Construction quality – If construction is not up to par, the structure can potentially injure visitors.

2. Construction delays – The greatest stressors on job sites for contractors, subcontractors, and owners, construction delays are typically caused by timelines for materials, noise restrictions, inclement weather, and so on.

3. Personal injuries and workers’ compensation – We have noticed that even though there is an increase in safety protocols in construction sites, incidents still occur on construction sites.
