Las Vegas Homeowners Seek Class-Action Lawsuit for Construction Defects
Many homeowners dream of moving into a newly built, custom-designed house. But when defective materials are used in the construction of that home, the dream can quickly become a nightmare.
Las Vegas residents of three developments in Summerlin and Silverado are experiencing the torment of living in a poorly constructed home firsthand. They filed lawsuits alleging their properties need repairs because of construction defects.
The lawsuit states that the property owners have had problems with the roofs on their homes, leaking windows, cracks in the drywall, dirt coming in through the windows, cracks /stains in the stucco, and water and insects coming in through foundation slabs.
The homeowners believe these issues are the result of the Lewis Homes/KB Home construction companies using defective materials when building their homes.
The lawsuit also says KB has claimed there are no defects, yet they performed some repairs. The defendants say these few repairs are not adequate enough to truly fix the myriad problems they have faced.
The plaintiffs are trying to obtain class-action status for the lawsuit which seeks damages for repair costs and the decreased value of their property.
Defective Materials and Construction
The use of defective materials and construction can manifest anywhere in a home. Problems to pay close for attention to include:
-Roof Leaks
-Balcony or Deck Weakness
-Floor or Ceiling Failure
-Noise Intrusion
-Shower Stall Malfunctions
-Soil Subsidence
-Wood Rot
If one or more of these problems occurs in your home, it’s quite possible you have defective materials in the construction. Proving such a claim requires the diligent and thorough research of a well-trained attorney.
The Cochran Firm can provide their knowledge and skills to help you validate your case and obtain financial compensation for the mistakes of construction companies and the distributors of defective materials. If you are in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, please contact The Cochran Firm to schedule a consultation today and move toward obtaining the compensation you deserve.
