Engineering Negligence Overview
Engineers engaged in construction design in California have a duty to adhere to
a variety of standards, including those provided by their written agreements, as well as
a duty to comply with all applicable building codes, laws and regulations in the
preparation of engineering and structural plans, designs and calculations. Design
defects or a breach of any of these duties may give rise to claims for damage for
violation of these standards, building standards, breach of contract and common law
claims that may extent to subsequent purchasers, including claims for negligence, and
possibly, fraud and negligent misrepresentation.
