The spread of “sick building” litigation is on the rise and roofing contractors should be aware.
Due to this new wave of litigation, roofing contractors should be concerned about insurance coverage of these potential claims. Coverage under policies will need to be examined for analysis based on the facts of each claim and the policy language under each particular policy. Determining whether or not the policy provides the defendant roofing contractor with a defense to a claim — as well as coverage, if the contractor is ultimately found responsible for damages — is extremely important.
