Construction Insurance Claims

Risk is an ongoing part of the construction business. Injuries are common, unexpected problems delay project completion, and local and state regulations present new compliance issues daily. The law makes owners liable for all types of construction site problems, from faulty workmanship to non-performance of subcontractors.

Insurance companies routinely deny construction claims

Construction companies generally carry professional liability insurance and other policies. Contractor insurance coverage gives business owners the belief that this policy will protect them in the event of a claim. This confidence is often misplaced. Insurance companies routinely deny claims from construction companies.

Examples of routine construction claim denial

Insurance companies routinely deny construction company claims for coverage for events such as:

• Construction defects causing damage to adjacent property
• Subcontractor claims
• Liability for unknown geological problems such as earthquakes, landslides, or underground water
• Slip and falls and other premises liability claims
• Construction vehicle accidents

Failure to provide representation and defense against claims

Insurance carriers frequently refuse to provide defense representation to construction company clients facing claims like these. Insurance companies are known for choosing to defend only those cases they believe they can win. They tell insureds that other events are not covered, even when they are. Our lawyers help clients understand the details of their builder’s risk coverage.
