Legal Question in Construction Law in California
Construction
There is a big construction next to
the building my business in. Large
trucks park in front and block the
business completely, also there are
periodic traffic line closures, which
makes very difficult for customers to
enter and exit parking lot. Am I
entitled to compensation from the
construction company?

Entitled? No. Possibly valid claim? Sure.
You could try to work out an informal deal with them in good faith. Or, you could sue and try to prove a legal claim at the cost of time and effort in court. Feel free to contact me if serious about trying to resolve it or pursuing the claim.

Re: Construction
Sometimes there is a condition in a building permit requiring mitigation of traffic and access impacts. A first step would be to review the permit application file at the appropriate city or county permit office. I am aware of cases where major street work obligated the city to compensate affected businesses, but do not recall the facts or the laws relied uopn by the court in ordering compensation.
