Denver Construction Defects Attorney
Harding & Associates are construction law attorneys who have a vast knowledge of construction law and construction law defects. We represent developers, contractors, sub-contractors and individual property owners in all aspects of construction law.
In construction law there are prerequisites to most every legal matter, from filing liens to filing law suits. Our experienced team will counsel you on the proper procedure to file liens, their time frame and how to extinguish liens that are not done perfectly.
Did you know that for a construction litigation to be successfully presented in court a list of construction defects and valid notice must be sent? C.R.S. ' 13-20-801 et. seq. clearly provides that these prerequisites are required. We have represented clients from multi-million dollar developers to individual homeowners with contractor problems. In fact the Colorado Supreme Court recently ruled in A.C. Excavating, et al. v. Yacht Club II Homeowners Associates, et al., 114 P.2d 862 that subcontractors have a duty of care to construct homes without negligence. Previously, this duty of care was argued to extend only to general contractors.
In addition, your recovery is not just from the contractor or subcontractors. You may also be able to collect from insurance coverage that either you or your contractor holds, or even bonding companies or subcontractors. Before presenting any claim, you need to make sure that you have all the responsible parties and make sure that if you do get a verdict or settlement, that there is a party that is able to pay the amount of damages.
