Overview
Claims that arise after project completion can ruin a previously successful job. Such claims arise from a host of problems, such as physical failures, unpaid lower tier contractors, undiscovered defects of design and construction, and personal injuries. Taking steps to avoid such claims is prudent but companies also need strategies to deal with claims that inevitably arise. This OnDemand Webinar will explore how to manage such claims, focusing on identifying and addressing the particular issues that have the potential to minimize the adverse impact of post-construction claims.
You will be able to discuss physical failures and warranty issues.
You will be able to point out code violations.
You will be able to recognize difficult issues in responding to post-construction claims.
You will be able to identify and enforce indemnity rights.
