Protecting Commercial & Private Property Owners

Construction failures can create serious operational and financial consequences for property owners. Determining responsibility often requires evaluating the construction work, project documents, design, materials, warranties, and the roles of multiple project participants.

Contractors may blame subcontractors. Design professionals may point to installation. Manufacturers may dispute whether their products were properly specified or used.

Hiatt Law evaluates the project as a whole to identify the source of the problem, determine responsibility, assess contractual and warranty obligations, and develop a strategy for recovering appropriate damages.
