Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
home inspector missed major defect. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
Classic scenario honestly.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
I just learned that indemnification clauses can be mutual or one-sided. Always push for mutual indemnification — if they want you to indemnify them, they should indemnify you too. It's basic fairness.
