From architectural design issues to poor workmanship to the selection of inferior materials, a claim for a construction defect requires a team approach between the carrier, the attorneys, and the experts. Our attorneys know how to coordinate with the key players at the loss site, how to communicate with everyone from a sub-contractor to a developer, and how to preserve crucial evidence.
Attorneys at KELLY, SMITH & SCHMIDT are experienced in both defending claims against contractors as well as pursuing contractors, suppliers and manufacturers for property losses. We have experience in defective fire suppression systems; EIFS systems; elevator malfunctions; windstorm and hurricane damage; building code compliance; improper ventilation; mold and “sick building” syndrome; asbestos and other environmental/toxic exposures.
