frustrated_contractor_2023 OP

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

warranty claim denied on technicality. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 7 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $65,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied covenant of good faith. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct commercially reasonable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
