Construction defect litigation involves defects in construction where attorneys represent homeowners, commercial property owners, builders, construction companies and property developers when problems are discovered during or after the construction process. Construction defect litigation cases can be based on negligent structural engineering, improper soil analysis, and defective building materials.
Milan is a town in Franklin and Washington townships, Ripley County, Indiana, United States. The population was 1,816 at the 2000 census. The town's name is pronounced differently from the English name for the Italian city of the same name. Milan High School won the Indiana state basketball championship against Muncie Central High School in 1954. The signifance of their victory was that Milan was the smallest-populated high school in the U.S. to win a state championship in national history. The 1986 film Hoosiers is based on the story of the 1954 Milan Team. While it is often claimed that Milan is the subject of a volume of poetry entitled "Pop. 359" written in 1941 by Carl Wilson under the pseudonym of Tramp Starr, that book is actually about the nearby town of Moores Hill.
