Neighbor Pays for Flooding Client’s Home

Civil trespass can occur when an element, like water, comes onto your property. When a physical intrusion on your property interferes with the use of your property, it can be considered a trespass. That means you can seek monetary damages from the party responsible for that physical intrusion.

In this case, the physical intrusion was water into our client's basement, which also damaged the home's foundation. The water originated from the neighbor's property. Our litigation attorneys were able to recover funds from the neighbors so our clients could make the necessary repairs to their home. We also saved our client time and money by avoiding litigating the issue in court.
