Construction Litigation

Even small construction projects can involve significant numbers of parties: architects, surveyors, contractors, subcontractors, vendors and more. Construction projects can lead to a wide range of legal claims stemming from events before, during or after construction. The types of claims are just as varied.

That is why you need an experienced attorney at Morton & Gettys when you are involved in construction litigation. We are knowledgeable and we are methodical, examining the facts of the case closely so that we can advise you on the best way forward. Often, that path involves negotiating a settlement. However, we are always completely prepared to go to trial if an out-of-court solution is not possible.

We represent clients in the full array of construction cases, including: 

• Mechanic’s liens and other payment disputes
• Breach of contract
• Construction defects
• Insurance coverage
• Professional negligence

At Morton & Gettys, our attorneys understand how complex construction litigation often becomes. We are committed to helping clients resolve the full array of disagreements, from disputes arising during planning to claims that develop during the warranty period. We investigate thoroughly and we advise thoughtfully, keeping your goals in mind every step of the way.
