In the State of California, construction defect lawsuits have increased drastically over the last twenty years. This increase can be blamed on the construction industry's need to get a job done quickly with the lowest cost possible. In addition, developers have decreased the quality of workmanship on structural aspects of their projects in order to enhance aesthetics. This has led to an increase in sales for the developers at the cost of safety to the buyers.
Overall, the construction industry's practices have led insurance companies to take action and cover as little as possible for their clients. Insurance companies may attempt to pay out only minimal amounts on claims. As a result, a homeowner may only receive a fraction of the estimate to repair the damage done to their home.
