Lucifer! No compensation for that?!
They need to sue right away, eminent domain without compensation is a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
I'm sure some young couple in rural Georgia that just made the biggest purchase of their entire life will jump right on that. I'm sure they've got a huge reserve fund for legal expenses set aside. /s
Absolutely this.
While lawsuits seem to drive the American economy, maybe we don't all have a lawsuit fund to go alongside our medical expense account, because we're too busy paying for housing and heat and light and food and gas.
...and maybe we shouldn't feel like the credible threat of a lawsuit is the only thing keeping people in line.
Some lawyers work on commission!
True, but your settlement to recoup costs gets eaten by the lawyer, likely to leave you with very little at the end of the day. So the defendant gets a slap on the wrist, you get a pittance and you're still fucked.
I'd sue no matter what just out of principle, but just sayin' lol
I'd rather have justice and $1 than no justice and no dollar
