Protecting Property Owners From Roadway, Pipeline, and Utility Acquisitions

Government expansion, highway construction, pipeline installations, and power line easements frequently disrupt private properties, commercial businesses, and agricultural land. The attorneys at Sever Walker Padgitt represent landowners facing all types of public acquisitions. Whether the project involves a new road expansion, utility line installation, or retention and detention ponds, their legal experts perform a comprehensive review of the proposed acquisition. They analyze how the project will affect your property's value, access, drainage, and utility. For commercial real estate owners, they assess the business interruption, loss of parking spaces, and easement restrictions. For farmland owners, they evaluate crop damage and soil compaction. Hiring an experienced commercial real estate attorney from their team ensures that you receive fair, just compensation for both the land taken and any damages to the remaining property.

Comprehensive Legal Representation in Inverse Condemnation Actions

While standard eminent domain cases are initiated by the condemning authority, there are times when the government takes or damages your private property without filing a formal court action. In these situations, landowners must take a proactive stance by filing an inverse condemnation lawsuit to demand the compensation they are constitutionally owed. Sever Walker Padgitt has extensive experience litigating complex inverse condemnation claims resulting from government-induced flooding, regulatory taking of land use, zoning restrictions, and physical physical invasions of property. Their trial-tested lawyers utilize a network of land appraisers, civil engineers, and soil scientists to prove liability and document the true value of your damages. If your property rights have been compromised without due process, contact a real estate attorney from their office to schedule a legal consultation and initiate action.

Community-Focused Service and a Risk-Free Fee Structure

Many landowners hesitate to seek professional legal help because they are concerned about high legal fees. To eliminate this barrier, Sever Walker Padgitt operates on a risk-free, contingency fee basis. This means they only charge a fee if they succeed in securing a settlement or verdict that is higher than the government's initial offer, and their fee is calculated as a percentage of the additional amount gained. Consequently, hiring their firm will never leave you with less than the original offer, making it a sound decision to secure legal representation. Located at 742 South Rangeline Road in Carmel, Indiana, the firm offers a completely free case evaluation to any individual or business owner facing condemnation proceedings.
