According to a compendium compiled by the US Law Network, damages can be recovered for defects in construction, provided that the damages can be authenticated. However, recovery cannot include attorneys’ fees if no contractual provision has been made. Therefore, the terms of a contract must carefully be reviewed to see if the fees can be included in a damage claim.
Liability issues can develop as the result of negligence, a breach in warranties (implied or expressed), a breach in contractual terms, or as the result of deceptive practices. The recovery of costs for the purpose of investigation is based on a contract’s terms. The court system in Louisiana upholds the reimbursement expenses for investigation as long as those costs are associated with proving negligence.
