Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
property damage
I live in a townhouse in Waldorf, Md. My next door neighbor's toilet overflowed and flooded my kitchen. My insurance is covering the damages but we have a $1,000 deductible, can I recover that money from the homeowner next door?

Re: property damage
First, see if your neighbor's insurance will cover your deductible. If not, you would have to be able to prove that the problem was caused by your neighbor's negligence--for example, that he/she put things in the toilet that don't belong there. This would be hard to do.
