Q: Property was damaged by known third party. Property was sold. No mention of damage. Insurance claim turned in
Claim made to offending party's insurer. How much property damage is the insurer liable for? Thank you. Damage was done for years prior to sale and continues (storm water). Damage caused by offending party negligently not following the law
A: A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I could only speak for the insurance elements of your question, since you posted under Insurance Bad Faith. It could depend on the insurer's policy limits and whether it is a loss covered by the policy terms. A real estate attorney would have insight into the contract issues, but they would need to know more about the sale and the contract. Good luck
