Construction Defects

Central Mississippi Lawyers Experienced in Residential Construction Defects

A new home is the largest investment many people ever make, and new home construction requires very specialized, high-level skills. Disputes often arise over the quality of the construction, materials and workmanship provided by the builder. Contact attorneys Sean A. Milner and Steven Price Nixon for the legal knowledge, experience and resources to help resolve these serious disputes.

Some Construction Defects Allow Significant Financial Recoveries

If your recently built home has legitimate construction defects, you may be able to recover monetary damages in compensation from the builder for your financial, physical and emotional losses. Residential construction defects that can justify a significant recovery include:

Foundation problems, including basement leaks and flooding
Interior and exterior wall cracks
Drainage problems
A range of other structural flaws that impact the livability and market value of the home

Mississippi Laws Protect Builders From Frivolous Lawsuits

In our state, strong laws are in place to prevent new homeowners from filing lawsuits against builders simply because they cannot pay a mortgage or other bills. Our lawyers are familiar with the many protections and notice requirements included in the Mississippi New Home Warranty Act.

If you are a new homeowner with a legitimate claim, we will arrange for the documentation of proof of the construction defects and all associated costs. Our law firm works regularly with structural engineers and other experts qualified to evaluate the problem, as well as professional appraisers who will perform comparative market analyses on the property with and without repair.

From a home builder's perspective, we will act quickly to demand strict proof of the claimed construction defects, in accordance with our state laws and your best interests.

Whether you are a homeowner or a builder, you can put our extensive experience with real estate transactions and litigation to work on your behalf. Contact our attorneys for an appointment to discuss your legal issue involving residential construction defects.
