Generally, the cases we handle involve six types of problems:

• Geologic Hazards Such as Soil and Slope Instability: Colorado's expansive and collapsing soils, and its many hillside and mountainous communities, present significant challenges to builders and developers. Through proper engineering and construction techniques, many problems such as landslides, rock falls and flooding can be foreseen and avoided.
• Design Errors: Many homeowners encounter poorly designed structures and systems that do not function properly. These deficiencies may include poorly designed flooring, septic, heating, plumbing, ventilation, roof, exterior siding, building envelope, or irrigation systems, among other parts of a home.
• Poor Workmanship: Poor workmanship is often the most common homeowner complaint. Builders often employ unqualified, inexperienced, or unsupervised laborers or "low-ball bid" subcontractors, resulting in construction defects.
• Failing Roadways and Infrastructure: Roadways and other community infrastructure and amenities require careful design and construction, and must consider soil and environmental conditions. Construction problems may take years to show up, but when they do, the repair bill can be devastating.
• Construction Material and Product Failures: Sometimes structural components and building materials fail. This may be the result of manufacturing errors, improper construction methods and application, or the interaction of the components or materials with the environment.
• Insurance Disputes and Serious Personal Injury: The Firm has extensive experience working with all kinds of insurance policies. Some staff attorneys were formerly employed by insurers, providing them with outstanding insights into insurance issues and enabling our firm to effectively resolve disputes regarding insurance coverage. Serious personal injury claims arising from poor construction can include electrocution, burns from fires and allergic reactions to volatile or toxic building materials.

We routinely protect the rights of homeowners' associations and individual homeowners. Contact us today for your free, confidential consultation with a skilled attorney.
