Construction Defect Settlement With Colorado Developer, General Contractor, Architect, and Key Subcontractors

  • Construction Defect

Johnson Law represented the owners of a five-townhome building in the lower highlands / Jefferson Park area of Denver, Colorado. The building suffered from leaking roofs, grading and drainage defects, siding defects, HVAC defects, and other various defects. Johnson Law sent CDARA notices of claims on behalf of our clients to the general contractor, developer, roofer, HVAC subcontractor, and architect. The construction professionals made no offers to our clients in response to the CDARA notices and one attorney for the defendants called the claims “frivolous.” We pushed forward with the lawsuit, that included a detailed expert investigation and depositions of the defendants and their experts. The total cost of repair to the building was estimated at $400,000-$1,300,000 between defense experts and our clients’ experts. Even as trial approached, many of the defendants remained steadfast with their unreasonable positions. Johnson Law attorneys recommended pushing forward towards trial. One week before trial a final settlement was reached with the last remaining defendants. The total settlements recovered for our clients was over $1,945,000.
