Slavin Doctrine: Part I
It is not unusual for a contractor to be
sued when someone is injured on a project, even if the injury occurs after the
project has been accepted by the owner.
Often the injured person sues the contractor alleging that his/her
injuries were caused by the contractor’s defective construction. Even if the person is injured and the
construction was defective, the contractor still may avoid liability. One method to avoid liability is the application
of the Slavin doctrine.
