Construction Litigation

When things are running smoothly, these different details handled by different workers are seamlessly orchestrated so that the project remains on schedule with all the details meshing into a seamless whole. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with unforeseen or unplanned issues holding things up, which can lead to frustration and litigation.

We also actively and aggressively pursue subrogation claims on behalf of our insurance clients.
Personal injury law involves many types of injuries, but the one important factor is that the victims are injured due to the negligence of someone else. The negligent parties can be drivers in other cars, companies making or selling faulty products or the inability to provide safe home or business environments for guests or employees.
