Construction is a complex process that involves coordinating and contracting between many different entities. With certain issues and events on projects, we often see “chain reactions” that affect multiple parties and ripple up and down the relationship chain. In this presentation, we will discuss two unrelated occurrences that have significant effects: mechanic’s liens and construction accidents. We will discuss in detail how contractors and subcontractors can use mechanic’s liens to their advantage, and how owners and lenders can take steps to protect against them. We will also explore how, in addition to proper safety protocols, construction participants can take steps to mitigate accident liability through proper use of insurance and indemnity.
