Frozen Claims: How Pre-Litigation Statutes Shape Construction Defect Strategy: In today’s construction environment, defect disputes can escalate quickly, but “right-to-repair” statutes across the U.S. act as a crucial pause. These laws require homeowners to notify builders and allow inspection, repair, or settlement before litigation begins, creating both challenges and opportunities for insurers. This session examines how these statutes toll limitations periods, extend exposure windows, and enable early investigation into coverage, causation, and resulting damage. Understand how carriers and counsel can leverage notice-and-repair procedures to deploy experts early, refine coverage decisions, coordinate additional insureds, and reduce litigation risk. By understanding how different states “freeze” claims, participants will gain actionable strategies to control loss and manage construction defect claims more effectively.
