Kansas City Construction Defects Lawyer

Construction Defect Cases

In a tough economy, it is not uncommon for homebuilders and developers to cut corners in construction projects. Unfortunately for home and property owners, these measures often result in building damage, dangerous living conditions, insurance liabilities and costly repairs. The law firm of Martin & Wallentine represents home, business, and other property owners who have discovered construction defects. We will review your case and determine who would be the appropriate party against whom to pursue legal action. We can help you seek compensation for multiple damages associated with such a situation. Some examples of construction defects include:

• Window leaks
• Mold problems
• Faulty wiring
• Generally low quality construction
• Problems with heating or air conditioning
• Use of inferior and problematic materials
• Cracks in the foundation, walls or floors
• Defective design
• Architectural engineering flaws
• Subsurface or geotechnical problems
• Homebuilder negligence

Assessing the Extent of Property Damage & Pursuing Compensation

From a legal standpoint, it is important to take action soon after a construction defect has been identified. There are time limits on how long you have to file a claim. Additionally, a case should be pursued while all relevant evidence is still available. In the case of construction defects, the defense may argue that any damage illustrated is a result of factors other than the negligence of the architects, builders or developers involved. If you have discovered a structural problem, design defect, or other construction defect, discuss your legal options with a Kansas Cityattorney right away.

Our firm works with engineers to evaluate the problem, extent of property damage, hidden damage, and cost of repair. With an accurate understanding of the construction defect, we are able to effectively seek a fair level of compensation.
