Landslide &
Subsidence Property DamageWhen property damage
is caused by floods, landslide, mudslide,
debris flow or other earth movement,
subsidence or loss of adjacent or subjacent
support, a property owner should immediately
explore hiring an experienced property
damage litigation lawyer.
An experienced property damage litigation
attorney can assist you by developing a
course of action to counter landslide and
subsidence property damage by assembling the
proper team of experts and consultants that
will be required to analyze and establish or
defend both liability and damages.
The experts and consultants required may
include several specialized disciplines. The
experience level of the property damage
litigation lawyer will be key in developing
the case strategy and organizing the team of
experts based on the specific needs of each
particular property damage case.
Due to the complex nature of many
subsidence property damage cases, expert
analysis is instrumental in the conduct of
the litigation, as well as in the
development of a remedial plan to address
the subsidence problem.
When deciding to engage a property damage
litigation lawyer for your subsidence or
earth movement matter, it is important to
evaluate the settlement experience and trial
results of the attorney. One may wish to
inquire about the property damage litigation
lawyer’s settlement and trial experience
with subsidence property damage.
Peterson Law Group emphasizes practice
in landslide and subsidence property damage.
Our property damage litigation lawyers
have represented and tried to verdict cases
including, as examples:
-
$3.0 million decision for a
landslide caused by a coastal fire road
in a subsidence case for the cost of
repairing a client’s Palos Verdes
Estates bluff-top ocean view property (click
here to see article);
- Cases now pending in the office
include a Laurel Canyon property
suffering from a major landslide and a
debris flow case involving a church
campground in San Bernardino County.
Our property damage litigation lawyers
have resolved substantial landslide,
subsidence and other earth movement claims
while avoiding trial. These include a major
public works project on Hollywood Boulevard
in Los Angeles that resulted in several
million dollars in aggregate resolutions
from subsidence. Our property damage
litigation lawyers have also represented and
resolved landslide cases involving
properties in several areas throughout
Southern California, including Yorba Linda,
Agoura Hills, Palos Verdes and Baldwin Hills.
Peterson Law Group offers practical
experience with subsidence property damage,
reflected in courtroom results. We believe
in personalized attention to assist our
client in what can be a difficult
experience. We work with highly qualified
subsidence experts, yet we are sensitive to
the costs of litigation as we work with the
client to develop a cost-effective strategy.
While we believe that anyone who owns a
property subject to subsidence or earth
movement damages should be entitled to the
benefits of experienced counsel, we are
admittedly selective in the cases we choose
to represent. We believe our selection
criteria enable us to provide personal
attention to the needs of our clients while
striving to get the results that our clients
deserve.
Our property damage litigation lawyers
welcome the
opportunity to discuss your situation
and help you assess the merits of your case. |
