Archer assists clients in a range of legal matters, including:
- Preventing and avoiding claims for injury at the construction site. While employees cannot sue their employer if they are injured at a construction site, they can file a workers' compensation claim. Further, engineers and other third parties can be sued by employees, and visitors to a construction site can sue the construction company and the engineer if they suffer an injury on site due to negligence.
- Construction defect claims. Express and implied warranties are part of most construction projects for new homes or structures. If you discover a construction defect, or want to fight an accusation of a construction defect, you should contact an attorney for assistance.
- Issues related to liens. Construction workers and builders can place a mechanics lien on a home allowing them to put a claim on the house if they are not paid for work performed.
- Insurance coverage issues. Properties under construction must be insured for property loss or damage. Workers compensation insurance is also necessary to cover employee claims if they are injured on the job.
