Texas Lake Conroe Flood Damage Lawyer and Texas Flood Condemnation Lawyer

Flood damage condemnation lawsuits are not a simple issue and most people and many lawyers do not know or understand lawsuits that can be filed to seek compensation for government-induced flooding.  The basis behind potential recoveries under Texas and United States Law are condemnation lawsuits which require the government to pay property owners for taking private property for a public use.  Under Texas law, land owners can seek compensation from the government for taking or damaging their property.  However, the property owner must show that "the government 'intentionally took or damaged their property for public use, or was substantially certain that would be the result.'" Slip op. at 5 (citing City of Keller v. Wilson, 168 S.W.3d 802, 808 (Tex. 2005)).  Under Federal law, the U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its decision in Arkansas Game and Fish Comm'n v. United States, No. 11-597 (Dec. 4, 2012), in which a unanimous Court held that government-induced flooding could be a taking, even if temporary.  Based on condemnation actions, many families, businesses, and property owners will be able to seek compensation for their losses through lawsuits.  However, because of the complexity of the issues, it is probably best to hire a Texas Lake Conroe Flood Damage Lawyer and Texas Flood Condemnation Lawyer to review any potential government-induced flood damage lawsuit.

Texas Flood Damage Third Party Lawsuits Include Negligent Engineering, Architectural, and Design Malpractice Claims

In our modern society, we can design huge sky scrapers, large buildings, stadiums, huge dams, bridges, industrial plants, and other large structures that dominate our surroundings.  These structures if designed incorrectly can divert water from its natural flow and cause devastating flood damage and accidents that can cause immense damage as well as mass death and injuries.  Defective drainage can cause whole communities to suffer severe flood damage resulting in the loss of homes, businesses and life. 

These mistakes whether caused by the an negligent engineer or incompetent architect can create mass destruction that destroys or severely damages the lives of innocent people that are in the wrong place at the wrong time.  In investigating the cause of a building or bridge collapse, it is important to look at the work of the engineer firm and architectural firm that designed the structure as well as the construction company that actually built the structure.  For more information about these potential lawsuits, please go to the Texas Flood Damage Third Party Lawsuit Web Page.

If you have significant damage to your home or business, it is important to begin itemizing and documenting the damages that you have suffered.  This documentation can often be the key in proving and obtaining compensation under an insurance policy.  Please also keep in mind that some insurance adjusters will do whatever they can to take advantage of injured people, the family of a person that was killed, or people that have lost their home, possessions, or business. They often make low ball offers when they know claimants are hurting for money. During the process the adjusters gather evidence and find ways not to pay the hurricane damage insurance claims. The result of these tactics is that the insurance companies get to keep more of their money and injured or damaged individuals do not get the compensation that is do them from the storm damage. This is why hiring a Texas insurance claim lawyer to assist you with your hurricane flood damage claim is often a good idea.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: Texas Hurricane Harvey Insurance Claims.
