Residents to sue homebuilders

We have very poor built homes also.I am the H.O.A. president here in Las Vegas NV how and what do we need to do to get help to get our home repaired and how do we start the law sue. please help cdmoores@cox.net. I have been fighting Lennar to fix my house for 14+ months

Suing big builders for negligence in this day and time is extremely hard. It is only because these people could get together for class action, that they may have any chance of some remedy. I suspect most Lennar victims are usually unknowingly isolated, and consequently have had no chance at recovery. Victims of defective homes generally lose money even if they win such lawsuits. Until the ability to build entire subdivisions with defective construction becomes unprofitable, such problems will not stop. The price of housing has not been based on cost, but what they could get, whether defective or well built. Kudos to the press coverage on this story. Press has been hand fed every seemingly ridiculous judgement story in the past, intentionally to create a false perception that all class action suites are just get rich quick schemes. In fact, this is the only way most common citizens can get any justice in this type of situation. Sure, lawyers make the only actual profit from these type cases. Victims get their actual losses, minus huge fees. Unfortunately, lawyers don’t represent the general public as a charity. Even if you are the victim of clear corporate negligence, such as defective construction, you will not get justice unless a law firm finds it profitable for them. That is the extent of justice to American citizens. Had they not come together, these victims would never have been heard, beyond being a vague statistic.

Evidence of defective Lennar homes is well documented. In Florida they built houses on top of a bombing range. In fact some of the bombs had to be detonated. News media and websites have documented a myriad of defects which seem to be consistent in nature. Most often noted are defective roofs, roof trusses and foundation failures. In South Carolina the construction defect complained of are the same. Additionally Erin Brockovich has confirmed the existence of methane and hazardous chemical contaminations in the homes throughout the subdivision. In Texas, particularly in Hutto Texas the complaints are the same as those listed in the California lawsuit and many other states. There is too much documented evidence out there. Bogus lawsuit? I think not. Statistics show that homeowners don’t file frivolous lawsuits. It is a myth created by the homebuilding industry as they continue to build large quanities of defective homes.

This is a bogus lawsuit just like all of the others. The "Lawyers" and I use the term loosely, are trying to make a buck at the contractors' expense and these homeowners think they are going to get money out of it. The go door to door asking if the homeowners have seen any cracks in the sidewalk or other issues, then have an "inspector" look at the house and claim thousands of dollars in repairs need to be made. In turn, what they are doing is creating problems for all of the contractors involved in an already deteriorating building market causing price increases for everyone that may want a roof put on or new plumbing.... Face it, after 5 years a house settles and things shift a bit. EVERY house has cracks, we live on a fault line!
