Inverse Condemnation
The United States Constitution guarantees…

private landowners the right to receive just compensation when the government takes private property in an eminent domain action. BUT, sometimes the taking may be indirect with no compensation offered. For example, it may not be obvious to the landowner that the government has infringed upon their property rights until they find that a nearby public project has caused an impairment of access to their land, loss of adjacent or sub-adjacent support, an air space restriction, flood damage, or even a landslide, just to name a few.

Inverse Condemnation Law

In these cases, even though the taking may not be direct or entire, the property owner is entitled under their constitutional rights to dispute the taking and receive payment for the loss of their property, in part or in whole. This type of taking is known as inverse condemnation. Inverse condemnation disputes, trials and appeals can be quite complex and often require expert evaluations, analysis of business records, and customer testimonials, and will benefit from a particular knowledge of the relevant legal arguments for certain types of property, such as commercial, residential, or industrial.
