What To Know About Home Inspections During Litigation

What To Know About Home Inspections During Litigation

The goal of the Naumann Law Firm is to provide our clients with high-quality legal services. We take pride in being able to maintain a continuous dialogue with them.

One of the first steps after joining a litigation, is a visual inspection of your home. This is a process that will allow our experts and representatives to thoroughly inspect your home. It will allow you to show them all the problematic details, such as the construction defects.  It is during this time, our experts and representatives will be able to answer any questions that you have.

According to the court, the defense can inspect your home after our initial inspection. However, it is important that you have a legal representative at your home and you can rest assured that The Naumann Law Firm is always on standby to accompany the defense.

During this defense inspection, you may feel the need to point out to the builder the issues occurring. You may think, “It’s best to show them what they did, so they can fix it!” However, this is the exact opposite of what you should be doing.  You should be presenting the builder with the necessary information to fix the problems. You need to remember that every individual on the defense side is no longer working for you, nor do they have your best interest in mind. They are looking for any angle to lessen the amount of money they would ultimately have to pay to make repairs. Anything you say could be twisted and used against you and hurt your case.

During the inspection, the Naumann Law Firm would like to ask you and everyone else not to talk to the defense parties.

Although the members of the defense team know that you are not allowed to talk to them, there are sometimes occasions when they will start speaking with you without following the rule. If this happens, you should decline to answer their question and instead contact The Naumann Law Firm’s onsite representative.

Before the inspection begins, our representative will provide you with a brief overview of the process. If there are any concerns or questions, you can ask our representative to speak in private.

Although this process may seem intimidating, our team has already inspected hundreds of homes over the years, and we are dedicated to doing it in a fast and efficient manner.

The attorneys at the Naumann Law Firm are experienced in handling construction defect lawsuits. We are able to help condominium associations, homeowners associations, commercial property owners, and single and multi-family residential owners resolve their issues related to defective building materials and structures.

If you have any questions about the process of home inspections or the litigation related to construction defects, please contact the San Diego office of the Naumann Law Firm.
