When a declarant, developer, general contractor, or subcontractor works on a property, they are required to do their work correctly. This means following building codes and product manufacturer's instructions, and using the skill and care one would expect a reasonably prudent builder to use. Errors and resulting damages arising from improper work must be properly repaired. If a builder refuses to address errors and damage resulting from his improper work, the property owners should seek the advice of a skilled construction defect lawyer to advocate for their rights. At Smith Jadin Johnson, PLLC, we can and do help our clients get the justice they deserve.
What Not To Do When Filing a Property Insurance Claim
Though you may not realize it, filing an insurance claim is a legal process. Do it correctly and you are more likely to get the funds needed to make necessary repairs to your property. If you don't, however, you could end up having to pay for repairs out of pocket.
Collecting Interest on an Appraisal Award
In 2017, SJJ won an important case before the Minnesota Supreme Court that allows property owners to collect pre-award interest on insurance appraisal awards in Poehler v. Cincinnati. While the Court found that interest was due on appraisal awards, it did not answer another important question: how much interest is due?
