Understanding Construction Negligence

Construction negligence occurs when a contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer, or any other party involved in a construction project fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in damage or injury. Common forms of construction negligence include:
  • Defective Workmanship: Poor quality construction that leads to structural defects or failures.
  • Design Errors: Mistakes or omissions in architectural or engineering plans that compromise the integrity of the structure.
  • Failure to Follow Codes and Standards: Non-compliance with building codes, safety regulations, or industry standards.
  • Inadequate Supervision: Lack of proper oversight and management, leading to errors and unsafe practices.
  • Negligent Hiring: Employing unqualified or unlicensed workers who fail to perform their duties competently.
