The world of construction is an interesting place. There is a lot involved in a construction project, which means a lot can go wrong along the way. When a construction dispute arises, and they often do, what can the offended party do? In the state of Massachusetts, this individual may pursue civil litigation in order to seek resolution if other means to resolve the issue have failed.

If you have found yourself in a construction-related dispute, the steps you take to resolve it matter. A few examples of commonly seen construction disputes include delays, defects, contract issues and payment disagreements — among various others. These disputes can cost everyone quite a bit in time and money. So, wanting a swift resolution is understandable.

Many construction disputes can be settled out of court through the negotiations process. Others, however, will require litigation. This is not something that should be off-putting; it is just what it is. If an alternative method to settle your dispute has failed or seems an inappropriate course of action, given the details of your case, litigation may be the only way to deal with the matter, and that is okay.

It does not matter if you are a contractor, subcontractor, owner or are otherwise invested in a construction project; when things are going wrong, you have the right to address the situation as you see fit. You have the right to seek compensation for your losses. With the right assistance, you can resolve the construction dispute as quickly as possible and in a manner that suits your best interests.
