Construction Project Participants Beware – Kentucky Has Adopted The Economic Loss Doctrine
August 18, 2011 Joseph Cleves
After years of ambiguous cases, the Kentucky Supreme Court recently clarified Kentucky’s position on the economic loss doctrine in Giddings & Lewis, Inc. v. Industrial Risk Insurers, Nos. 2009-SC-000485-DG, 2009-SC-000825-DG, 2011 WL 2436154 (Ky. June 16, 2011). When a defective product damages only itself, the economic loss doctrine bars tort claims, limiting recovery to contractual remedies. Economic losses primarily “deprive the purchaser of the benefit of his bargain,” and thus contract law is the appropriate remedy for such losses. Economic losses often include costs for repair or replacement of the product itself, lost profits, and other similar losses. On the other hand, when a defective product injures people or other property, tort claims remain appropriate remedies.

Insurance Product for Lean Projects
March 9, 2011 Joseph Cleves
The core premise of Lean Project Delivery is intensive collaboration based on trust. Critical to its successful implementation is free flowing communication between team members. Construction and design participants are brought into the project at the beginning of the design. This allows critical dialogues to take place during design rather than later, when changes become more expensive.
