Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

property damage

My property has suffered substansal damage to the driveway due to a water main break in the street directly adjoining my property.

The local govt. officials agree that the damage to my propeerty was a direct result of the water main break however they refuse to do anything to correct or repair the damage.

I have checked with my own insurance carrier and they say that I only have coverage to my building property, not the driveway.

Please help

Thank you,

Steve

Re: property damage

The state and local governments enjoy certain immunity from suits. However, your case may qualify under certain statutory exceptions. You should contact a lawyer. I offer free consultations.
