This 918 page collection of state-by-state chapters focuses on the most important current issues in construction litigation. Topics addressed include: insurance (including "work product" and "your work" exclusions, "occurrence" defined, the duty to defend, and more); causes of action (including contract, tort, strict liability, warranty/strict liability, green building litigation, delay, and more); construction/materialman's lien; surety/bond issues; defenses (including statutes of limitation and repose, contributory and comparative negligence, waiver, estoppel, contractual limitations on liability and damages, economic loss doctrine and more); arbitration/ADR; and measures and types of damages, including consequential damages, delay and disruption, attorneys' fees, punitive damages, contract damages, and more). The authors include dozens of experienced defense attorneys and members of the DRI Construction Law Committee. The efforts of the authors and editors have resulted in a unique desk reference for construction lawyers. The reader of this new publication will not only gain an up-to-date overview of the current law in his or her jurisdiction, but will be able to research the law of other jurisdictions.
