Understanding the Common Legal Disputes That Involve Contractors Including Failure of Payment or Failure to Perform
Lawsuits alleging a failure to pay a contractor for work performed often lead to a counterclaim alleging failure of the contractor to perform the work in a quality manner. These types of cases are among the most common occuring lawsuits within the Small Claims Court. Unfortunately, without professional representation, these cases also often become hotly contested and problematic due to the many legal issues typically involved.
Construction Law Cases Include:
Renovators
Involves poor work or alleged failure to perform.
Roofers
Includes resulting interior water damage.
Landscapers
Involves design/install and maintenance issues.
Plumbers
Involves failures resulting in water damage.
Electricians
Includes defects by unlicensed contractors.
Arborists
Involves allegations of faulty tree work.
Concerns
Disputes involving construction or renovation projects are often challenging due to the many legal issues that typically apply within the realm of construction law. Common issues may involve the extent of, and quality of, evidence required, such as the need sometimes for an independent witness to inspect and provide a reports as to what workmanship was done correctly and what workmanship was done incorrectly thus whether the required workmanship standards were met. Disputes involving construction or renovation projects are often additionally troublesome as contractors and property owners alike will frequently begin a lawsuit without first obtaining proper legal advice.
Additionally, litigation arising from construction or renovation disputes often extends into legal issues beyond allegations of poor quality of work and also include legal issues such as quantum meruit disputes over the value of partially completed work, consumer rights concerns, mitigation requirements, among other issues.
