Construction Law
Construction Law deals with all types of cases that arise in connection with any type of construction project – public, private, commercial, and industrial. Many cases involving construction law have to do with defects that lower the value of a structure. Generally speaking, defects are caused by faulty construction, maintenance, alteration, repair, demolition or excavation.
