If improperly handled, claims alleging construction defects and product defects can be burdensome and extremely costly. At SMB Law, we take pride in learning every aspect of our client’s work or product as well as the overall project and the processes and transactions involved with the installation, assembly, construction, integration, distribution and/or function of our client’s work or product. Similarly, we take great pride in developing a deep understanding of all the standards, codes, rules, regulations laws and statutes at play to ensure that both factual and legal defenses are devised to result in an optimal outcome given the circumstances.
Our attorneys also aggressively pursue avenues of early resolution through early motion practice, risk transfer, and, where necessary, insurance coverage actions to secure indemnity and litigation costs. Further, throughout the life of a case, we work closely with our experts, clients and claims professionals to pursue targeted attempts at early Alternate Dispute Resolution through formal Mediations, Arbitrations and, where possible, speedy informal resolutions through direct negotiations with counsel and insurance claims professionals. Our attorneys have 37 years of combined experience successfully handling these claims for manufacturers and distributors as well as owners, construction managers/general contractors and trades.
