Re: House flooded with sewer

you should consult an experienced attorney to evaluate whether you have sufficient facts to justify a lawsuit against the city and/or the contractor.

many cities have a time limit in which a written notice of a claim should be sent to the city before a lawsuit is filed. therefore you should seek an opinion from an attorney as soon as possible.

i hope this helps. bill featherston
