Our client's property was flooded during significant rain events with large portions of the property being completely underwater throughout the rainy season.
Floodwaters were forced onto our client's property as a direct result of the construction of a road project.
The flooding rendered the land and many of the improvements unsafe and unsanitary. The flooding substantially damaged the use, utility and market value of our client's property.
Our client sought compensation for the deprivation of her constitutionally protected rights.
A claim of unlawful taking of private property by flooding was filed. We aggressively pursued and fought for our client culminating in a mediation.
A settlement was reached in favor of our client including both compensation and modifications to the County’s drainage system.
