Frequently asked questions
What makes Nelson Law Firm different from other law firms?
Nelson Law Firm is recognized as Colorado’s premier construction defect litigation firm, known for our depth of expertise, personalized client care, and proven track record of achieving results. We combine decades of experience with a client-first approach to ensure the best outcomes.
What is my case worth?
Each case is unique. A number of factors go into the evaluation of your case, including the amount of provable damages, the amount of available insurance, and the percentage of fault attributable to the responsible parties. Regardless of value, it is our job to maximize your recovery.
Will my case go to trial, or can it be resolved out of court?
While many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation, Nelson Law Firm is always prepared to take your case to trial if it’s in your best interest. Our reputation for trial readiness often helps achieve favorable settlements.
How long does it take to resolve a construction defect or insurance dispute?
The timeline for resolving a case varies depending on its complexity. While some disputes can be settled in months, others may take longer if litigation is necessary. Nelson Law Firm prioritizes efficiency without compromising quality.
How much does it cost to have Nelson Law Firm represent me?
NLF uses both contingency fee and hourly rate fee agreements. If we take your case on a contingency fee basis, you pay nothing at all until we win at trial or settle your case.
What are statutes of limitations?
Statutes of limitations are deadlines after an injury or after the discovery of damages by which you must file suit or your claim may be barred. These deadlines vary by state and by type of legal claim. You absolutely need an attorney to assist you in evaluating these deadlines before it is too late. Colorado has relatively short deadlines for filing construction defect claims. Missing a deadline can bar your claims forever regardless of when you become aware of the defect. Do not rely upon your builder to protect your interests once you have a construction problem. Reach out to an NLF attorney today.
My builder is not responding - what should I do?
Contact Nelson Law Firm today before time runs out to file your claim. Do not sit on your rights waiting for the builder to respond to you or to make adequate repairs. Your NLF attorney will initiate the mandatory Notice of Claim process and attempt to reach a resolution before to filing a lawsuit.
What is the Notice of Claim (NOC) process?
Before filing a lawsuit against a construction professional (builders, developers, subcontractors, architects, engineers, designers, and material suppliers), property owners must send a written NOC describing the construction defects. The construction professionals have the opportunity to inspect the property and make a written offer to repair the defects or pay money. If the issues are not resolved to your satisfaction, you may proceed with filing a lawsuit.
