CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION

Construction-related litigation has become increasingly complex over the years, and continues to present an ever-increasing number of challenges for the California construction industry. All aspects of the construction process generate potential liability claims. With wide-ranging experience in all aspects of construction-related litigation, Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP provides owner, developer, general contractor and construction manager clients with the expertise and experience necessary for a successful resolution of all types of construction-related claims.

Our expertise includes claims for construction site injuries, premises liability, indemnity, contribution, contract disputes, construction delays, cost overruns, mechanics liens, insurance disputes, additional insured endorsement tenders, construction defects and mold.

Over the years, Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP has successfully represented clients in many of the largest commercial high-rise construction defect cases filed in California. We have also successfully represented clients in cases involving the construction of single family dwellings.

There are challenges which are unique to construction litigation. It takes experienced attorneys to maintain control over the costs and conduct of the litigation process. While priding itself on its proven trial record, Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP nevertheless works very hard to achieve an early resolution of disputes in order to minimize litigation fees and costs which frequently exceed the underlying value of the case. On the other hand, whether at trial or in arbitration, Adams | Nye | Trapani | Becht LLP resists the standard philosophy that construction defect cases must settle at any cost, trying those cases which need to be tried with ultimate success.
