We employ state-of-the-art diagnostics and analyses to fortify your case.

FAIR AND JUST COMPENSATION AND DAMAGES

If you have been harmed by a construction defect or a contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to perform, you are entitled to fair compensation covering:

  • Actual damages, including the past and future costs of repairing and restoring your damaged property, and any contents damaged due to the defect (such as water damage caused by faulty plumbing)
  • Compensation for the loss of the use and enjoyment of your property, including inconvenience, aggravation and discomfort
  • Compensation for appraisal fees, storage charges and cleaning costs incurred
  • Compensation for the reasonable cost of rental of similar property during periods when your property could not be used

  • Interest on your damages as permitted by law
  • Attorney fees and costs if provided for in your contract

MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION SERVICES – SAVING COSTS THROUGH NEGOTIATION AND LITIGATION AVOIDANCE

Often parties can avoid expense and delay by mediating disputes about provisions in construction contracts. Moreover, many construction contracts have clauses that require non-binding or binding arbitration to resolve disputes. At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon PLLC, our attorneys have experience representing parties at arbitration and mediation proceedings. We often negotiate lasting solutions that save our clients time and money and allow them to get their projects back on track.
