What Key Information Is Needed To Start Your Construction Defect Case?

Construction defect litigation is a rare type of law that only a few firms can specialize in.  Here at The Naumann Law Firm, we handle cases involving issues related to the design, construction, and performance of contractors. We receive calls from potential clients every day with questions about various construction issues.  As a result, we have mastered this process down to a science.  

When it comes to construction defect litigation, the focus is on the physical issues surrounding your property. Due to the specificity of our practice, when you first call us, we have some baseline questions we must ask to help understand your circumstances.

• Name, Email, Phone Number, Property Address
  We do not use clients’ or potential clients’ information for marketing purposes. We respect privacy and time. Unless you become a client, we will never contact you after your initial inquiry. Nor do we sell your information. Often, we need to review your information before we can send you a fee agreement. Therefore, we ask for contact information to reach out within 48-72 hours after first contact.
• Date of Completion of Construction
  It is very important that we know when your property was constructed. There are strict statutes that prevents you from bringing a lawsuit against a developer. There are situations, such as condominium conversions, where an apartment project could have been constructed in the 1970s but was converted to condominiums in 2012. It is very possible in a situation like this, a lawsuit can still be brought. Knowing information like this is critical.
• Builder/Developer Name, HOA Name, Property Manager and Company
  We have won hundreds of cases against different builders. Knowing who built your home gives us some idea as to what we will be up against regarding developer insurance. Our contacts throughout the property management world are vast. We may already be familiar with the manager and most likely the company managing your HOA.
• Has your community been marketed by other law firms? Is there already an HOA lawsuit in progress with another firm?
  There can be situations where your HOA has already started a construction defect lawsuit for common area defects, but you just started having issues within your home. If this is the case, you should contact your HOA further regarding your issues. It is extremely rare that two law firms work in a community simultaneously.

Do not hesitate to call our offices. We will gather your information on your initial phone call and have our attorneys review immediately. Generally, we can give you an answer within 48 hours if we can take you on as a client.
