Alabama Construction Law
At Spinks Law Group, our construction law practice is robust and inclusive of many aspects of the construction process. Our clients include commercial construction companies, homebuilders, subcontractors, developers, and property owners. We provide legal counsel to our clients to help them avoid litigation and ensure their ability to continue their work is unfettered. If litigation does arise, we are there to provide the defense our clients need to ensure the best possible outcome.
Representation of Construction Companies
Our defense of construction companies encompasses a wide range of areas, including accidents, defect litigation, 3rd party injuries, and breach of contract.
Accidents
Unfortunately, construction sites have a large number of accidents. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2019 alone, there were 1,102 fatal injuries in the construction industry. This number represents 20.7% of total workplace fatalities in the United States. When accidents occur at a construction site, the construction company knows that no matter the circumstances of the accident, they may be sued. In these scenarios, a prompt and thorough investigation is critical to combating future lawsuits/claims against clients. At Spinks Law Group, we are often engaged immediately following a construction site accident to preserve evidence, witness statements and represent clients in anticipation of litigation.
Defect Litigation
During the construction project, or even after construction is complete, a construction company may have a lawsuit filed against them for a perceived or alleged defect and/or damage in the work performed. This type of litigation can be extensive, detailed oriented, and highly technical, as there are often many layers that must be gone through before a resolution is accomplished. Our attorneys stand ready to dig deep to ensure the protection of our client’s interests.
3rd Party Injuries
Due to the nature of construction and the constant in-and-out of different people, 3rd parties are sometimes injured as well. When this happens, our counselors will investigate the cause and advocate our clients’ position.
Breach of Contract
For a construction project to run smoothly and be completed within a certain time frame, all parties must abide by the terms agreed upon in the construction agreement and/or other construction documents. Failure to do so by any party can derail an entire project with large amounts of money at stake. At Spinks Law Group, we help our construction company clients pursue breaching parties and/or defend claims of breach including actively seeking a resolution that saves our client’s time and monetary resources.
Representation of Property Owners
Individuals and Property owners often find themselves in the position of having to commence arbitration or a lawsuit in order to obtain all rights and services that construction companies/homebuilders have agreed to.. When this happens, our firm is there to provide our clients with the step-by-step guidance needed to represent their interests and protect their property.
Representation of Contractors
The laws and regulations governing the licensure of contractors in Alabama are notoriously strict. If you are a contractor and a complaint involving your license has been made against you, it is in your best interest to have legal counsel advocating on your behalf. At Spinks Law Group, we are there for our contractor clients throughout the complaint process, ensuring that their rights are not trampled and their license and livelihood are protected. Our experience before the Alabama Licensing Board for Homebuilders and/or General Contractors has provided our attorneys with the skill and knowledge to assist our contractor clients effectively.
