California Landslide/Flood Damage/Inverse Condemnation Attorneys
If your home or place of business has been damaged by a destructive landslide, mudslide, or other earth movement, your insurance company may tell you that the disaster was an 'act of God,' and that you have no choice but to assume the financial consequences of the event. But, often, what insurance companies insist is a 'natural' disaster turns out to result from the careless development of the surrounding land by investors or government entities. For example, a state agency may decide to build a road into a steep hillside, which can destabilize the ground above the road, creating the conditions for a dangerous landslide. Likewise, a real estate development can redirect surface water to a weak section of hillside that can cause a damaging debris flow that affects the properties below the development. Without access to credible experts and experienced litigators, however, it can be extremely difficult to successfully try these complex cases in court.
At Rosenberg Mendlin & Rosen, LLP, our lawyers have decades of experience in the areas of inverse condemnation and landslide damage and can help you understand and exercises your rights after a landslide. We understand the frustration of being told that 'no one is responsible' for the irreparable damage to your home or business when the evidence says otherwise. Over the past 25 years, we have developed and maintained access to a network of geologists, geo-technical engineers, hydrologists, appraisers, and structural engineers who will not only add credibility to your case, but act as a resource to help you work through the process of renovating your property or developing elsewhere.
