This presentation explores the critical approaches used to evaluate and calculate financial remedies in residential real estate non-disclosure and construction defect litigation. In these disputes, recoverable damages primarily aim to compensate the buyer or consumer for economic losses. Depending on whether the claim stems from a seller's intentional concealment, accidental failure to adequately disclose or a with a contractor's failures, legal remedies can be broad and potentially financially explosive. Early resolution is often in all parties' best interests, avoiding catastrophic fees and costs, and may be achieved when claimants share the necessary information.
