Landslides/Earth Movement Damage

For property owners, there are sometimes situations where geological issues precede any property damage suffered, including circumstances such as landslides, cave-ins, or other earth movements. In any scenario of geological instability, the damage to a residential or commercial property can be striking and crippling. In the risk of any such earth movement damage, it is always essential to retain the services of the Nodd Law Group, where Jeffrey D. Nodd will aggressively represent your interests.

In the Sherman Oaks and greater Southern California region, there are usually a handful of geological phenomena that lead to property damage, ranging from minimal to extensive. The first of these occurrences can be categorized as landslides, more commonly defined as flows of debris or gravel aided by gravity. Landslides, or rock-falls can occur in several environments, including coastal and mountainous regions, and are most dangerous following any kind of heavy rainfall or storm-like conditions. The second of these geological hazards are what’s known as subsidence, which is simply defined as the gradual caving-in of an area of land. As compared to landslides, subsidence examples occur less often and yet the damage can still be extensive and costly. In few cases, earth movements may be caused through unintentional or malicious negligence on behalf of a public works project, utility company, government program, or even a neighbor. In regards to any negligence, subsidence, or landslide earth movements, it is always important to understand the terms of your insurance coverage in an effort to seek restitution, and also legally hold those responsible for your earth movement.
