Legal theories for construction defect litigation
A construction defect case may be brought on several grounds. Often it is based on a contract between the owner and the developer. Contractors and subcontractors, including suppliers, architects, and engineers who were involved in building the structure, may be required to remedy the situation. Negligence, breach of contract or warranty, strict liability, and in some instances, fraud or negligent misrepresentation are the types of causation that may be alleged in the complaint. Medical costs, pain and suffering, and life care costs may be sought.
