That all depends on several issues, and who is suing. Also, it depends on the type of material used, if the builder of the wall or contractor or subcontractor did anything negligent, if the site survey done was incorrect, etc. This is all under construction defect.
So, your best bet: talk to a construction defect DEFENSE attorney to help you figure out a number of factors, including insurance coverage. Try www.attorneypages.com and then check his or her record at the Georgia State Bar.
