Compensation for damage by the municipality? Ask for free advice!

Questioner

Day, The neighborhood development company (municipality) accidentally dug a huge trench in our property, can I claim compensation for the unsolicited excavation in our property?

Lawyer

In principle yes. In short, there must be damage that is substantiated and attributable to the municipality. You can also claim future damage. I advise you to hold the municipality liable in writing, supported by evidence.

Questioner

Thank you for your response, I see that today a main gas pipeline is being placed in our property without prior notice. Is something like this possible and should I accept it?

Lawyer

No, you do not have to accept that. If there is no reason for the placement of the gas pipe or you have not given permission or you have not been informed of this, then I advise you to file a complaint against this and hold the municipality liable.
