New York City Construction Defect Law
When you buy a home or a business, you have every reason to believe that the structure you purchase is safe. You certainly do not expect to find poor design, flawed craftsmanship, or ill-advised cost-cutting measures compromising your safety -- and that of your loved ones.
What can you do if you are the victim of an injury caused by a construction defect in New York City? The construction attorneys at Segan, Nemerov & Singer, P.C., can help you pursue fair compensation and hold accountable those who concealed or ignored the defect that lead to injury.
Identifying a construction job defect
How do you know for sure if you are a victim of New York City construction defects? The following may help explain—a defect is a condition that serves to reduce the value and safety of the building that you purchased. Defects may be apparent immediately after the structure is finished, or may make themselves known over time, often years after the construction itself is complete. It could be in the form of any of the following:
- Inappropriate building techniques, which can cause a poorly-structured roof, wall, or floor to collapse
- Water damage, which can result in puddles leading to slip and fall accidents
- Faulty electrical wiring, which can cause electrocution
Keep in mind that this list is by no means comprehensive, and your particular New York City construction defect may be the result of factors not listed here. Whatever the cause, though, you should feel safe in your business or home—and you deserve compensation if you or a loved one suffers injuries instead.
