Know the steps that need to be taken when dealing with construction and design defects in New York.
Defects and deficiencies in construction are an unfortunate reality. Considering the scope, complexity, necessary coordination, interdependency of tasks and systems, and myriad responsibilities spread among multiple parties, it is no wonder that things sometimes go wrong. But when they do, identifying the cause and knowing the rights and responsibilities of everyone involved is essential. This topic provides insight into the roles and responsibilities of design professionals, those performing the physical construction and suppliers of materials, and the extent to which the respective parties may bear responsibility for defects and deficiencies. The material also explains the types of claims that arise from construction and/or design defects, the possible claimants, limitations on claims, the applicable measure of damages, and possible defenses.
