Meet Our Construction Defect Attorneys

A construction defect lawsuit must be filed within four years of whichever occurs most recently:

• The date of actual possession by the owner
• The date of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
• The date of abandonment of construction if not completed
• The date of completion or termination of the contract between the professional engineer, registered architect or licensed contractors and his or her employer.

If, however, a construction lawsuit involves a latent (hidden) defect, the statute of limitations runs from the time the defect is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of due diligence.

In no event can a construction defect claim be filed more than 10 years after the latest of these dates. Because there is a time limit in which construction lawsuits may be filed, it is important that you speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
