WATER RUN OFF

As Georgia’s law changes and developers continue to alter the earth’s natural contours there are an increasing number of disputes arising from storm water  run off.  This is an area of the law in which the rules are not always discernable intuitively.  The attorneys at Strawinski & Stout have repeatedly represented developers and up-stream property owners through to defense verdicts at trial.  The theories of liability include:

  • Trespass
  • Nuisance
  • Flooding
  • Negligence
  • Damage to water quality
  • Pollution
