The Naumann Law Firm, PC and JCL Law Firm, APC Recover $3,011,500.00 for several South Bay Commercial Business Owners in a Construction Defect Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by The Naumann Law Firm, PC and JCL Law Firm, APC.
The Naumann Law Firm announced today that attorneys, William Naumann Esq. and Jean Claude Lapuyade, Esq., recently recovered $3,011,500.00 in damages on behalf of several South Bay Commercial Business Owners in a construction defect lawsuit.
The firms filed a lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior Court on behalf of Plaintiff Commercial Condominium Owners ("Owners") against the developer. The project was originally constructed in the 2004/2005 timeframe and consisted of eight (8) large warehouses.
The owners first identified potential construction issues when their driveways and streets started to crack and fall apart. The driveways became undrivable in some areas. Inside the buildings, the ceilings started to pull apart from the walls.
In the course of discovery, Mr. Naumann and Mr. Lapuyade learned that the soil on this site was highly expansive with high levels of clay. They discovered that the soil engineers recommended that the highly expansive soil be removed and that water be kept away from the foundations. During depositions, the attorneys learned that the builder/developer ignored the engineer's recommendations. The water infiltration into the highly expansive soils caused the foundations to lift and crack. In addition, it was discovered that the streets and driveways were not constructed per the engineer's plans. The driveways needed to be built to withstand the weight of large trucks delivering goods to the warehouses. Unfortunately, the base and asphalt were constructed too thin to handle the traffic.
Following multiple mediations before Special Master, James Roberts, the firms successfully obtained a settlement for the Condominium Owners in the amount of $3,011,500.00.
