Construction Conference Program
Experts in Construction Related Cases – Selection, Direction and Protection
Presenters: Charles Kondla, Pedro Lopez, Harold Saul, Paul McCullough (SEA Limited)
This course will discuss the various aspects of expert retention and why each step in the process can be critical, starting with selection of the expert. This course will walk the audience through the entire process from choosing the right expert to putting the expert in the best position to not only help your case, but also survive a Daubert challenge. The course will culminate in a mock Daubert evidentiary hearing of the expert.
Warranty Claims in Construction Cases
Presenters: Michelle Krone, Aaron Haak, Eric Fluharty
Warranty issues arise in almost all construction cases. Whether statutory, express or implied, it is necessary to understand the differences. In this course, the KD team will review the various types of warranty claims, the ramifications of the pleadings, the potential damages recoverable and the defenses available.
Construction Defect Claims: Overview and Current Trends on Indemnity Law
Presenters: Michael Suarez, Bryan Krasinski, Jayme Idle
This course will provide a general overview of indemnity law and varying perspectives of its application from three Florida based construction defect practitioners. Topics range from interpretation of contractual indemnity provisions, anti-indemnity statutes, and additional insured considerations. The final discussion will be on the reasons behind and the effect of the current trend of contractors asserting claims for entitlement to contractual indemnity against their subcontractors and then swiftly seeking early determination by the court through summary judgment motions.
Construction Defect Coverage Issues
Presenters: Caryn Bellus, Jacqueline Bertelsen, Barbara Fox
Given the number of contractors often involved and the length of time it takes to complete construction projects, coverage issues arise in almost every case. This course will walk claims professionals through the steps of identifying and handling coverage issues, as well as highlighting the latest “hot coverage topics” in construction claims.
Effective Construction Defect Case Resolution
Presenters: Peter Baumberger, Raquel Loret de Mola
Achieving early case resolution in construction cases has become increasingly more challenging for claims professionals and parties involved in construction cases. This presentation will cover those challenges and will discuss strategies to effectively approach early case resolution in a cost effective manner.
