Why Do You Need a Construction Attorney?

Construction attorneys can help solve a variety of problems from business disputes to negligence claims. During a construction project, many disputes can arise and having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney by your side to defend the claim is necessary.

A construction litigation attorney can help before litigation even arises by ensuring there are proper contracts in place. They can also help once there is a dispute of any kind to defend the claims for their client’s rights.

When a construction dispute occurs, it is likely that arbitration is mandatory. A construction litigation attorney has experience with construction arbitration and has the necessary skills to properly defend their clients during arbitration.

What Is Construction Litigation?

Construction litigation arises at any stage of the construction process, from commitments at a project’s start to disputes over performance after construction is completed. Construction litigation is often high risk with large damage awards.

In the United States, the average length of construction disputes was 14.2 months and average value of construction disputes was $37.9 million in the latest reporting year. The same study found the most common construction dispute was contractor/subcontractor “failing to understand and/or comply” with a contractual obligation and that arbitration was the most common method of resolution.
