Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Fay's Flood in Melbourne florida

Generally, cities are not liable for planning decisions (like where sewer lines go and much water they can carry). Also, no one is usually liable for hurricane damage, since a hurricane is considered an act of God (private insurance and federal flood insurance are exceptions because that's what you bought them for). Your answer is probably no.

Still, you may want to sit down with a civil litigation attorney and describe your entire situation because there are exceptions.
