REPRESENTING PLAINTIFFS AND DEFENDANTS IN MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION LAW

Construction companies are often subject to lawsuits due to the nature of their work, which is governed by demanding contractual timelines and requirements. Understanding contractual law and retaining legal representation is thus extremely important when engaging in a project, no matter your role.

COMMON TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES

A construction lawsuit may arise if there is any deficiency or failure at a construction site. Most disputes hinge on whether work was completed on schedule (per the terms of a contract) and whether that work meets an accepted, professional standard.

Our construction attorneys can assist you with many types of conflicts, including:

  • Construction defect claims. A property owner may sue for damages if any component of a delivered project does not pass inspection or is otherwise found to be unsafe or below the standards established in a contract.
  • Differing site conditions. A construction company makes promises in a contract based on what they can expect to deliver given all of the known elements of the project. Should they encounter an unexpected obstacle at the site, they may attempt to renegotiate the contract to accommodate the complication. Sometimes, everyone involved will be amenable to these changes, while in other instances, a differing site condition can trigger a litigious dispute.
  • Lost productivity claims. Both construction companies and owners/developers may pursue a lost productivity claim if they believe another party’s actions led to a lower rate of work than expected or promised. If a construction company files a lost productivity claim, they typically allege the delays were the result of the owner/developer’s conduct. Owners and developers may file this type of claim if they feel the delay was caused by the construction company’s incompetence or lack of ability. In some cases, lost productivity claims may arise due to factors beyond either party’s control.
  • Mechanics’ liens. A construction company can file a mechanics’ lien on a property and “perfect” it if they are not paid for their services and/or materials. When a construction company perfects a lien, they sue to foreclose. A construction company can voluntarily resolve a lien if they are satisfied with their compensation, or a property owner can take legal action if they believe the lien is not valid. Very specific laws (which vary by state) must be followed for a mechanics’ lien to be considered valid.

Paraplegic Minor
$12 MILLIONDerek H. Potts and Timothy L. Sifers obtained a $12,100,000 verdict against Lisa Gard, M.D. for medical malpractice involving a minor. The jury found the Salina emergency room doctor to be negligent in her assessment of the minor upon presentation in the emergency room, failing to timely diagnose a rare spinal condition. The case was one of the largest verdicts in history in the State of Kansas.
Fraud Against Lender
$10.7 MILLIONPotts Law Firm represented a United States Bankruptcy Trustee. The case stemmed from the massive bankruptcy of Royce Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the country.
