What are common types of construction contractor claims in Minnesota?

Construction disputes involving contractors may lead to a wide variety of claims.  Such claims may include:

  • Breach of contract
  • Negligence
  • Misrepresentation
  • UCC claims
  • New-home and home-improvement warranty claims under Chapter 327A.
  • Express and implied warranties for CICs under Chapter 515B
  • Other claims

Because the dispute may involve several stakeholders in the project, the litigation may be complex with claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims.

What are a few practical things to consider?

To prosecute or defend a claim, the party may need an expert such as an engineer to give an opinion on the cause of any problems, the party responsible, proposed repairs, and the estimated cost of repairs. The contractor's insurer may have a duty to defend the claim, even if it is unlikely that the insurance policy will cover damages.

Often, it may be in the participants' best interests to consider settlement options before diving into complex civil litigation that may eat into their budgets for the project. Sometimes, the cost of repair may be less than the cost to litigate it. In those cases, a practical solution may be better than litigating it. However, many cases involve larger repairs and issues that must be litigated to an outcome.
