Pursuing Claims Against Dishonest Residential Construction Contractors
Homeowners who hire contractors to construct additions and improvements to their home have a right to expect that they will be treated honestly and professionally. When these contractors engage in dishonest and fraudulent behavior, they can be held accountable.
At the law firm of Shivers, Gosnay & Greatrex, LLC, our Cherry Hill contractor fraud attorneys help clients throughout South Jersey pursue financial compensation and punitive damages from home improvement contractors who have lied to them or otherwise misled them.
Seeking Compensation for Intentionally Dishonest Behavior
Having home improvement work done is always a risky and potentially stressful experience, but it can be especially frustrating to learn that you have been misled in some way by a contractor who you hired. Common examples of contractor fraud include the following:
- Accepting payment and not showing up to do the work agreed upon
- Starting a project and failing to complete it according to the contract
- Using cheaper, lower-quality materials than specified in the plans
- Falsely claiming to have insurance coverage or necessary licenses *
If you have been defrauded by a contractor, he or she may be liable for returning your money or paying for the cost of having the work done by another contractor. You may also be entitled to punitive damages if the contractor committed intentional fraud against you.
