Riverside, CA asked in Foreclosure, Personal Injury, Real Estate Law and Civil Litigation for California

Q: Which type of attorney handles cases relating to suing the city for negligence against residential inhabitants?

The city has allowed warehouses to box my house in on all four sides and for the past few years, it has been a living hell with warehouse owners, construction workers, and big rig drivers, noise, etc. My children can no longer be outside to play. I tried Personal Injury attorneys, but they said they do not handle cases like these. Any advice helps.
