What Is Construction Litigation?

Construction litigation is a field of law involving dispute resolution and the representation of stakeholders in construction projects. Although many construction litigation cases involve lawsuits, few of these lawsuits make it to court, so the term “construction litigation” may be misleading.

In most cases, construction claims are resolved through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration – not traditional litigation (going to trial).

Our Naples construction litigation lawyers are responsive to your needs and can help you settle your claim in whichever way is most beneficial to you.

Common Construction Claims

Construction litigation attorneys prosecute and defend a variety of claims surrounding contracts, negligence, and more. The most common construction claims include:

• Breach of contract – when one or more party breaks a written agreement
• Professional negligence – when architects, engineers, and other professionals fail to do their jobs correctly
• Defective design or workmanship – problems with finished or in-progress construction problems (i.e., building collapse, defective materials, poor workmanship, etc.)
• Dissatisfaction – when a property owner is unsatisfied with the work
• Delays – when a project is not finished as quickly as expected and causes costly delays
• Supply chain problems – when a supplier does not meet their end of an agreement
• Payment – when a contractor does not get paid on time
• Mechanic’s liens – efforts to recover unpaid construction bills
• Construction accidents – safety violations, injuries, and accidental deaths
• Lenders – claims from the people who finance construction projects
• Insurance companies – issues of liability when something goes wrong

If you need help with any of the construction claims listed above, do not hesitate to discuss your case with our Naples construction litigation attorneys. Even if your issue does not appear in this section, give us a call to find out how we can help you.

How Can an Attorney Help?

The sooner you get a lawyer involved with your construction claim, the more your attorney can do for you. When a dispute arises or something goes wrong, an attorney can investigate what happened, review all relevant legal documents, prepare a case strategy (we always prepare for trial from day one), gather information from the other party, and negotiate to protect your best interests.

Like other legal claims, construction litigation cases require an immense amount of paperwork, and our firm can handle all of it for you. We can also interact with lenders, insurance companies, and other parties that may not have your best interests in mind.

Vernon Litigation Group prides itself on personalized, results-driven representation. We have helped hundreds of businesses, clients, investors, and others involved in complex financial disputes, and we can guide you through mediation, arbitration, and litigation in multiple venues.

Construction litigation lawyers like the ones at our firm do so much more than go to court.
