Construction Law Attorney San Antonio
Construction laws and regulations exist in every state in the union, and these laws exist on both a state and local level to ensure a minimum level of safe and professional craftsmanship in every structure that’s built. These laws also exist to provide those who are wronged as a result of construction defects a set of remedies to pursue to make sure that any builder who violates these construction laws and regulations is held to a standard of justice.
Federal Laws for Construction
Most federal laws exist to provide guidance in terms of legal procedure, but new legislation is emerging to protect homeowners, business owners, and general consumers from negligence or fraud as it relates to construction defects. These federal laws are extremely complicated, as it’s a general policy that federal courts would like state matters to be settled in state courts.
Construction State Laws
Every state has a full set of codified statutes as they relate to construction laws and regulations, and these state laws change regularly. Even seemingly unrelated legislation can have a profound effect on state laws, with examples being tort reform and environmental statutes.
Legislation
Legislation changes almost daily, and new controversies often result in updated legislation to reflect a previously-unforeseen set of circumstances. Updates on legislation are available through many resources, but you’d be best served by keeping up with the news and paying attention to any legislation that deals with construction laws and regulations.
