Tricks of the Trade Part 2: Contractor Liability in Construction Claims

Despite their best intentions, even experienced contractors and trades professionals can occasionally find themselves, and their insurers, entangled in a construction liability claim. In some cases, these claims can originate from work completed several years prior.  

This webinar will focus on understanding what can go wrong and how to avoid being entangled in such liability claims. We will be discussing a wide range of examples, covering the most common scenarios in both residential and non-residential construction projects, including:  

• Re-roofing 
• Foundation underpinning 
• Temporary shoring during construction 
• Alterations 
• Renovations 
• Additions 
• Insulating the crawl space 

We will also look at liabilities arising from misinterpretation of and/or deviation from the approved engineering plans and will address the liability of the erectors of pre-engineered buildings. Finally, we will offer our recommendations for best practices and safeguards to limit exposure to liability.
