Construction Defect Litigation
Construction defects can have devastating financial consequences for developers, owners, and associations. Our construction defect practice handles complex multi-party litigation involving:
Structural Defects: Foundation problems, structural failures, and design defects that compromise building safety and integrity.
Water Intrusion: Envelope failures, roofing problems, and moisture intrusion that can cause extensive property damage and mold issues.
System Failures: HVAC, electrical, and plumbing defects that affect building functionality and safety.
Time-Sensitive Construction Claims
Florida construction law includes strict notice requirements and statutes of limitations. Early legal intervention is critical to preserve your rights and maximize recovery options.
Mechanic's Liens and Payment Issues
Getting paid for construction work requires understanding Florida's complex lien laws. We assist contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers with:
Lien Rights Preservation: Ensuring proper notices are served and deadlines are met to preserve your right to file a mechanic's lien.
Lien Foreclosure: Aggressive enforcement of lien rights through foreclosure proceedings to secure payment for unpaid work.
Lien Defense: Defending property owners against improper or excessive lien claims through bond-around procedures and lien challenges.
