Tampa, Florida, Area Attorney for Construction Disputes
After a man's home was hit by lightening, his insurance company referred preferred contractors to give him an estimate. Although he did not know it, the contractors inflated their estimate by saying that the repairs would cost much more than they actually did. The inflated estimate absorbed all the insurance money available to the homeowner. There were still things left to fix, but the insurance money was gone.
Furthermore, it was discovered that the home had serious construction defects that affected the safety of the homeowners in spite of multiple inspections by the code enforcement department of the county. Sadly, construction fraud and unfair practices like this happen in the Tampa, Florida, area. And the victims of home repair fraud often believe that they have no way to fight back. However, working with Theresa I. Wigginton, P.A. can be an effective way to right the wrongs.
At my Tampa area law office, I represent people in a wide range of construction disputes related to fraud, unfair business practices and construction defects. As an experienced lawyer, I help homeowners take action against home builders, construction workers and contractors.
If You Notice Construction Defects
If you notice construction defects, or are having difficulties with a contractor, calling an attorney may be your best option. Your attorney can take a look at the defects, contracts and related facts that led to the construction disputes. I can also help you understand the laws that may apply in your situation. Sometimes legal remedies may be available based on breach of contract. At other times, a statutory violation may be the basis of legal action. If you are served with a notice that a construction lien is being placed against your property, you must act right away to protect your home from being sold to pay the lien.
At my law firm, I take a hands on approach to construction disputes. I conduct a thorough investigation of all the facts involved.
