Experienced Legal Representation for Property and Water Damage Claims

Property damage cases often require an attorney who not only understands the law but also the technical aspects of water flow, drainage, and construction liability. Our firm regularly handles claims involving:

Water Flow and Drainage Changes: When construction or land development redirects water onto your property, causing erosion, flooding, or foundation damage.

Surface Runoff Disputes: Holding developers, municipalities, or neighbors accountable for inadequate drainage systems or grading issues.

Construction and Renovation Defects: Pursuing compensation for property damage caused by improper grading, drainage, or poor workmanship.

Municipal Liability: When government or public works projects create surface water or flooding issues that damage your property.

Private Property and Commercial Disputes: Resolving cases involving neighboring property owners or commercial construction that impacts residential properties.

Every case is unique—and we tailor our strategy to match the facts, expert reports, and documentation that strengthen your claim.

Why Property Damage Cases Require Detailed Preparation

Unlike simple insurance claims, property and water damage cases can quickly become technical and highly contested. Liability often depends on scientific evidence, engineering assessments, and a clear understanding of Pennsylvania’s property and environmental laws.


At Murphy Law Office P.C., we believe preparation is the foundation of success. Attorney Murphy is known for being thoroughly overprepared, carefully reviewing every survey, report, and inspection record to build a strong case. This level of detail allows us to negotiate effectively and, when necessary, present convincing arguments in court.

We understand how much your property matters. That’s why we treat every case with urgency, care, and professionalism from start to finish.
