State And Local Building Codes Are Complex

The State of Texas has adopted regulations covering the structural components and mechanical systems of buildings. For example, there are separate codes covering boilers, electrical systems, fire safety, plumbing, structural components, gas systems and energy efficiency. Local municipalities are free to amend these regulations to suit the needs of their communities.

Consequently, investigating building code violation that results in a serious injury or death can be a very complex undertaking. To assist us in this effort, we retain the services of experts in construction materials, mechanical systems and other specialties who can provide key insights, and if necessary, testimony at trial.

Our Texas building code violation attorneys also examine causation and insurance coverage issues to assign liability to the responsible party or parties. This could include the property owner, the construction company, sub-contractors and their respective insurance companies.
