CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS IN SEATTLE & STATE OF WASHINGTON

At Levy • von Beck & Associates, we aggressively represent homeowners, condominium associations, and commercial building owners who have discovered construction defects in their home or building. Because of the often-varied language of builders’ insurance policies, and the recently enacted laws governing how you pursue a construction defect claim, it is important that you retain experienced counsel from the moment you believe you have a problem or potential claim.

Each step you take toward seeking a remedy – from selecting a forensic expert, to the manner in which you notify your builder, to the determination of whether you have a potential claim under your own insurance policy – requires prompt but careful consideration of all issues and potential consequences. And no two cases are the same, so you need and deserve experienced lawyers who will fully and quickly analyze your situation and will explore every possible avenue of recovery for you. We work closely with engineers and construction experts of all disciplines to determine sources and causes of defects as well as the best, most cost-effective means of repair.

We have successfully pursued claims under owners’ insurance policies, including policies issued by Safeco, State Farm, Chubb, Pemco, MetLife, AIG, and many others. In the current climate of tightening insurance for owners, good legal representation is essential when pursuing a claim against your insurance carrier. Even if your claim is ultimately not covered under the insurance policy, the insurer’s duties under the law require that it pay for, or at least contribute to, the cost of investigating a potential property loss.

If you think you may have claims stemming from water intrusion, defective construction, problems with EIFS such as Dryvit, or any other construction defect, call us or e-mail us to discuss your case. Let us give your case the comprehensive attention you deserve. Our pursuit of favorable results for our clients is always relentless, and in many instances we work on contingent fee, so that you will not pay any attorney fees unless and until we recover money for you.
