Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

Who is legally responsible for faulty work in my home?
Primary responsibility falls on the contractor or tradesperson who performed the substandard work. If they are employed by a larger company, that company is also responsible. In some cases, a general contractor may be liable for the mistakes of the subcontractors they hired. If you purchased a new home, the builder or developer could be responsible for faulty systems installed during construction. Your claim is against the party whose carelessness or failure to fulfill their agreement caused the problem and resulting damage.
What surgical mistakes constitute malpractice?
Surgical malpractice extends beyond the stereotypical “wrong-site” surgery. It includes performing the wrong procedure, damaging nerves or organs not involved in the operation, leaving surgical instruments or sponges inside the patient’s body, and infections caused by unsanitary practices. Anesthesia errors, such as administering too much or too little, are also serious surgical-adjacent failures. These mistakes often result from poor planning, communication breakdowns, or surgeon fatigue.
What is considered a “faulty” building design?
A faulty design fails to meet the required standards of safety, functionality, or compliance. This includes plans that violate building codes, use incorrect materials for the intended purpose, or create structural weaknesses. It also covers designs that are fundamentally impractical, like a roof that cannot support necessary loads or a layout that prevents proper ventilation. The core issue is that the design itself, before any construction begins, contains errors or omissions that will lead to problems, making the building unsafe, unusable, or more expensive to fix later.
What is “attractive nuisance” in relation to pools?
An “attractive nuisance” is a legal concept holding owners responsible for dangerous conditions that are likely to attract children who cannot understand the risk, like an unfenced pool. Even if a child trespasses, the owner may be liable for injuries if they failed to take reasonable steps—such as installing a secure fence with a self-latching gate—to prevent access. The law recognizes that children are drawn to pools and need extra protection.
