HHMR’s Overview of Construction Defect Litigation in Colorado.

Several years ago, the attorneys at Higgins, Hopkins, McLain & Roswell prepared a primer on construction defect litigation in Colorado. Since then, we have updated it from time to time to reflect the current state of the law on various topics, such as Claims Typically Brought in Construction Defect Cases, Defenses Typically Raised in Construction Defect Cases, Damages, and Defense Strategy and Practical Issues.  We wrote this document for use specifically by our clients and their insurers in understanding the current state of construction defect litigation in Colorado.

If you would like to see a preview of this overview, you can check it out here: Overview of Construction Defect Litigation in Colorado.  If you would like a complete copy, please contact David M. McLain.

For additional information regarding Colorado construction litigation, please contact David M. McLain at (303) 987-9813 or by e-mail at mclain@hhmrlaw.com.
