The Lechs had sued under the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, which guarantees citizens compensation if their property is seized by the government for public use.
Insurance paid for the situation, less deductible. City offered to pay the 5,000 deductible.
I know one can get mad about the whole situation, but why sue? Unless he was under insured and that was his mistake.
Also if insurance paid, didn’t he give up his right to sue for damages?
So now this guy has an insurance claim for the damage the police caused to his dwelling. If this is more than a second claim in a couple of years the insurance scam raises rates due to no negligence of his own. Sounds fair to me. NOT!!!
