When Do You Need a Construction Expert Witness or General Contractor Expert in Florida?

1. Property Damage Claims

Florida’s hurricanes, heavy rains, and high humidity often cause property damage — from roof leaks and flooding to structural failures. Expert witnesses and general contractor experts evaluate the cause, extent, and cost of damage, helping insurance companies, property owners, and contractors resolve claims fairly.

2. Construction Defect Disputes

Construction defects like foundation cracks, mold growth, water intrusion, and code violations can lead to costly repairs and legal battles. Experts assess whether construction was performed according to industry standards and identify the root causes of defects.

3. Business and Commercial Litigation

In disputes over construction contracts, delays, or workmanship, expert witnesses and general contractor experts provide technical insights and impartial opinions that support mediation, arbitration, or courtroom testimony.
