Hurricane Harvey "Flood Control" and Your Home or Business
Hurricane Harvey resulted in the most significant amount of rainfall to
ever occur in the history of the United States. Over 50 inches of rain
fell in some parts of South Texas, including in Houston, as Hurricane
Harvey ravaged.
If you are like many home and business owners, you may have already found
yourself doing battle with an insurance company when it comes to your
Hurricane Harvey insurance claim. Your insurance company may have told
you that your property damage insurance policy does not cover flood damage.
No matter what may or may not be going on with the claim you've filed
with your own insurance company, you may be able to pursue a separate
one based on what is known legally as inverse condemnation. A tenacious
Hurricane Harvey inverse condemnation flood claim lawyer from our firm
can meet with you any time convenient to you to ascertain your rights
in regard to this type of claim.
As you likely know from media reports, as Hurricane Harvey was making its
way across Texas, releases of water was authorized by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers from the Barker and the Addicks reservoirs. The result of
this releases was the flooding of homes and businesses that had been unscathed
by Hurricane Harvey. If your home or business was damaged because of flooding
that resulted from the release of water from one or another of these reservoirs,
you may have a legal claim to be made.
As it stands, the law prevents you from filing claim or lawsuit for damages
to your home or business because of the release of water by the U.S. Corps
of Army Engineers. However, you may have a claim or cause of action against
at least two other entities: the City of Houston and the Harris County
Flood Control District. With the assistance of a Hurricane Harvey flood
damage lawyer from The Doan Law Firm, you may be able to pursue an inverse
condemnation claim against the City of Houston and the Harris County Flood
Control District.
Hurricane Harvey Inverse Condemnation Flood Claim
Inverse condemnation occurs when a governmental entity, the City of Houston
and the Harris County Flood Control District, takes, destroys, to even
temporarily impairs private property without appropriate, just compensation.
If you are among the thousands of home and business owners whose residences
or commercial properties were flooded because of the water releases from
the reservoirs, contact a Hurricane Harvey inverse condemnation flood
claim lawyer from our firm at (833) FLOOD-LAWYER.
In the final analysis, you may be blocked from obtaining compensation for
damage to your home or business caused by flooding, but you may be entitled
to compensation based on the doctrine of inverse condemnation. This does
represent a complicated area of the law. You truly best protect and assert
your legal interests in regard to a Hurricane Harvey inverse condemnation
flood claim with skilled, experienced, and tenacious legal counsel, like
a lawyer from The Doan Law Firm.
