Missouri Construction Defects and Personal Injury

Construction defects can not only reduce the value of your property in Missouri, they can cause injury when left unchecked or unnoticed. In addition to defective conditions posing a danger to you and your family, they can make you liable for any damages that others suffer while on the defective property. In extreme cases, the presence of a construction defect can lead to insurance company refusal to cover possible damages or claims.

If you’re involved in a construction defect injury in Missouri, seek immediate legal guidance to ensure justice is served in a timely fashion and you and your family regain health and financial security. The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C. can give you legal guidance regarding any type of construction defects at your place of employment or at home.

Whatever actions you and your construction law attorney decide to take will depend on the type of construction defect you’ve uncovered, the facts of your case, and Missouri state laws. In a case involving personal injury resulting from a construction defect, you’ll most likely want to pursue compensation for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

Construction defect injury claims generally fall into four categories:

• Breach of express warranty, meaning a warranty in the construction contract was broken by the seller, builder or other contracted party.
• Breach of implied warranty, meaning the newly-constructed building was not properly built for in-habitation.
• Negligent construction, meaning the homebuilder didn’t construct the building in a reasonable manner, breaching his obligation to the homebuyer.
• Fraudulent concealment of a known defect, meaning the seller, builder or other party didn’t notify the buyer of a known, harmful defect.
