Flood

Floods are usually caused when a rainstorm stalls over one location for an extended period of time. This results in more precipitation than usual, which cannot be absorbed by the ground. The runoff accumulates in low areas such as creeks and streams, which eventually wind their way to rivers, lakes, and manmade drainage systems. When rainfall is heavy, the runoff may be too significant to be contained by these natural and artificial drainage systems. The rising waters can overflow certain areas, causing significant damage to property and potentially harming people caught the flood's path.

A number of states have seen resurgence in strip mining in recent years since some federal regulations were relaxed. Studies have been performed that indicate that these changes have had a negative environmental impact. Logging may have an even greater effect on flooding. Lumber companies deforest sections of the countryside, leaving behind barren earth. When there is significant rainfall, these denuded areas shed more runoff because of the lack of foliage and ground cover. This increases the likelihood of flooding for communities that are downstream from logging areas.

If you have sustained significant property losses due to flooding, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact James F. Humphreys & Associates. We will not allow you to take on the cleanup efforts and costs involved in the aftermath of flood damage caused by the negligence of another party. We will fight to compensate you for the interruption of business and life a flood has caused you. Fill out a free case evaluator now.
