Defective construction in Florida can be very costly and destructive. It needs to be remedied immediately and can result in even more damage to your home, condominium, apartment, or commercial building. When a claim is made against the offending party, insurance coverage is critical to getting the claim paid. . Often times, insurance companies wrongly deny coverage for covered claims based on their misunderstanding of the law or their desire not to pay.
There are two main scenarios where you may need a construction defect attorney. The first is if your property was damaged. If you’re the owner of the property that has been damaged, you often need your property fixed immediately. You may be experiencing a loss in business, loss of customers, loss of tenants, or more. You need to make a claim against the party that caused the damage and their insurer that will be covered under the proper insurance. For this, you need an experienced coverage attorney.
The second scenario is when you are the party that allegedly caused the construction defects. You may be a developer, general contractor, subcontractor, material worker, or other participant in the construction. In this case, a claim will be made against you and you need to make sure you’re covered. The insurance company is supposed to defend you against the claim and indemnify you if a judgment results against you.
Whether you are a property owner whose home has been damaged by defective construction, or are the developer, general contractor, or subcontractor that allegedly caused the damage, we can help you get the insurance coverage that you deserve. |
