One of the intricacies about construction litigation is determining who is liable when construction defects or deficiencies are found. Because most general contractors enter into contracts that agree to guarantee their work, but also agree to defend other subcontractors, engineering firms or similar companies, one might assume that the liability would usually fall upon the general contractor. It all depends on the contract that was signed, though, and one example of this is the current legal wrangling in progress in the Yolo County Superior Court in California.
