Understanding the Process
In situations involving eminent domain, commonly known as condemnation, property owners have a constitutional right to receive “just compensation.” This encompasses the fair market value of any property taken for public use and compensation for any decrease in value affecting property not taken. Just compensation is frequently a subject of dispute with the condemning authority. Property owners need skilled and experienced eminent domain attorneys to ensure their interests are well-represented and to fight for their losses.
