Construction Defect Defense
At Z&A, we represent general contractors, subcontractors, developers, builders, and
construction companies facing construction defect claims in both state and federal courts.
With decades of trial experience and deep knowledge of construction law, we provide
aggressive, trial-ready defense in high-exposure cases.
Whether you're dealing with claims of water intrusion, structural failure, code violations, or
alleged negligence, our goal is to protect your reputation, minimize exposure, and resolve
disputes strategically.
What Is a Construction Defect Claim?
Construction defect claims can arise during or long after a project is completed. Plaintiffs may
allege design flaws, material deficiencies, poor workmanship, or failure to comply with local
building codes.
These claims often involve multiple parties, overlapping insurance policies, and complex
timelines. We work to untangle liability, coordinate multi-party defense, and challenge
exaggerated damage claims with evidence and expert analysis.
