Anyone know if there’s a potential case for property damages from flooding if the city failed to maintain a storm drain (they knew there was a clog after the last flood). Need a glimmer of hope…

If they're supposed to maintain the drain and you can specifically and definitively prove that the flooding was due to failure to maintain (negligence), you may have a case.

If you can prove that they knew there was a problem that could reasonably be expected to lead to flooding and knowingly chose not to address the problem in a reasonable timeframe, you may have a better case.

It's all in the details, and you should consult with an attorney.

Wondering what consulting practices my lawyer friends are in?

Had a consultation with an attorney for legal advice on my options to address a late filing for a taxable event. They recommended me two options: file or not file. In order to help him with the consultation he asked to send him additional information like bank statements and work authorization which I sent.

If I decide to not file or go to another attorney if the fees are high, can the attorney still report me or whistle blow me to the tax authorities?
