Our construction defect law firm based in San Diego wanted to share with you common questions we get that will help you understand more about what we do and the construction defect litigation process.
Q: What kind of damages can be recovered in a construction defect case?
A: Usually in a construction defect action you can recover for the cost of repair, or the value of the reduction in value of the property, whichever is less, subject to certain factors that may increase your recovery. Because a community association is generally required by its CC & R’s to maintain and repair common areas, the typical measure of damages is the cost to repair. Other potentially recoverable damages include the cost of investigation, relocation and storage, and other costs recoverable by contract or statute. Punitive damages are also available in cases in which fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment is found.
