What Does Inverse Condemnation Mean?

An example of this might be a farmer who suddenly finds his or her orchard flooded due to a flood control project. As a result, the farmer’s land is now worth significantly less than what it was before and, in essence, has been ‘condemned’ through the actions of the government. The farmer would have a legitimate claim for damages because the actions of the government cost him the value of his property. In these cases, the property owner should seek legal representation immediately.
