South Carolina Construction Defects and Accidents

The lowcountry lawyers at Howell & Christmas, LLC can help.

Construction defects and accidents can lead to serious and substantial property damage to residential and commercial buildings and other structures as well as serious bodily injury. Many times these accidents and defects are caused by the negligence of others. Negligent construction can lead to all kinds of defects such as toxic mold developing in the home or building and/or the need to replace defective stucco or a defective foundation a given structure. Liability can also extend to multiple parties given that a construction site many times has numerous sub contractors working for a general or multiple general contractors and there are also architects and other professionals that may have contributed or caused the damage. Damages in construction cases can also be complex and can range from liquidated damages pursuant to a breach of contract to damages paid by a general liability coverage insurance policy.

Because these cases are complex and given that there are so many possible types of cases and causes of action that go along with this area of the law (e.g. first party liability and third party contractual and non contractual liability, workers’ compensation, mechanics liens) we urge you to contact our office and speak with one of our Charleston construction accident attorneys to answer all of your legal questions and for you to find out your rights.
