Construction Contracts
What does “Construction Contracts” mean?
The term construction defects refers to any deficiency in the design, material or construction of a building or structure where the design professional and/or the contractor falls below the applicable standard of care in the industry. A designer and/or contractor is required to perform its work in a reasonably workmanlike manner and/or in accordance with a buyer’s reasonable expectation and use proper defect free materials.
Under some circumstances, these defects can manifest themselves in the form of “property damage” and/or “bodily injury”. There are also circumstances where defects can exist, but they do not pose a risk of or not result in property damage and/or bodily injury but nevertheless cause harm.
Construction defects can give rise to claims in tort such as negligent design and construction as well as in contract such as breach of contract and/or warranties. Tort claims will require a form of resulting damage, while breach of contract claims usually will be based on breach of the contract terms such as delay claims, inferior materials, design and installation deviations and failure to perform work in a good and competent manner and according to the applicable standard of care required in the industry as well as all applicable laws and regulations such as building codes.

Testimonials
“The events that followed an accident caused by a negligent driver which resulted in catastrophic head injuries for my son were extremely difficult for me as a mother and for our entire family. Mr. Menekshe was there with us from hospital rooms to courtrooms, from family meetings to depositions, to mediations to court appearances at every stage of a process with which we had no familiarity. Without his unwavering support and relentless work, against many large firms on the defense side, we would not be able to reach the resolution we were able to reach to secure my son’s future. Throughout out this difficult litigation processes my family, and I always felt that we were in good hands, our attorneys had our best interest on mind. Even after the case resolved with a very large amount, he helped guide us through all the details and planning. I am very appreciative for all they have done for us. For all those reasons, I would strongly recommend Menekshe Law Firm.”
“My accident was a life changing event for me when I suddenly became a quadriplegic at age 22. I was confused about what was happening to me and what my future would be and the litigation process while trying to deal with my medical care and treatments and the traumatic changes in my life. I wanted to be sure my attorney was someone who I could fully rely on and trust. My father contacted Mr. Menekshe after a referral by a family friend. When I met him at my parents’ house and had a chance to ask all my questions, I knew that he would be the right attorney to represent me in my case. My case was not an easy one against a very big defendant and took a lot of turns and ups and downs, but throughout the entire process I never had any doubt that I was being taken care of by someone who cared and protected me and worked very hard to get the best resolution for me. Now, I still stay in touch and share all the positive changes in my life years after the resolution of my case.”
“Our case was a large case where Mr. Menekshe represented approximately 24-26 of us in a case involving sexual assault and abuse by a teacher in a school for adults. Throughout the long interviews, meetings, and litigation process, we always felt that we were listen to, heard and assured by our attorney. Individually and as group, our questions were answered in detail and the process was explained to us as to what was happening and what we should expect further down the road. Even when we felt the most vulnerable, confused, uncertain and uncomfortable, we believed that we were supported and protected. We had confidence that the result would turn out to be in our favor. Our attorney’s advice guided us through this difficult process, but we were always treated as decision makers and respected by our attorney in that role. Even after a settlement was reached, Mr. Menekshe guided us through all the details of the resolution.”
“When a roofing company I hired for my commercial building charged me hundreds of thousands of dollars and started leaking as soon as they were finished, all I expected was to get my money back but getting a full replacement and all my cost for the litigation is what my attorney got for me and I was elated to be in a situation where they put me in a place better than I expected.”
“My business litigation lasted over 5 years where after the first few years all the attorneys who represented me told me it was time to retain Mr. Menekshe, he battled against several large firms and many lawyers hired by my ex-business partner and the feeling of vindication and being made whole after all those years was amazing. I was thankful and appreciative far beyond I can express with words.”
