Liability is determined by evaluating who caused the defect and to what extent, often involving inspections, expert opinions, and contract analysis.
Some cases resolve through settlement, while others proceed to trial. We assess options and pursue the path that best serves your interests.
Costs can include attorney fees (often on a contingency basis), court costs, expert fees, and investigation expenses. We discuss fees during the initial consultation.
